Participants

Reaction Steps

Heat 2-bromo-benzothiazole-5-carbonitrile (0.3 g, 1.26 mmol) in 1-methyl-pyrrolidinone (4.2 mL) with 2-methylpropylzinc bromide (5 mL, 2.5 mmol, 0.5M solution in THF), N-methylimidazole (0.15 g, 1.88 mmol) and [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) complex with dichloromethane (1:1) (20.5 mg, 0.025 mmol) at 80° C. for 3 h. Cool the mixture and partition between diethyl ether and brine. Dry the organic layer over Na2SO4 and concentrate in vacuo. Purify the crude mixture by chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EtOAc (1:0 to 1:1 gradient) to give the desired intermediate (113 mg, 42%). MS (EI) m/z: 216 (M+).
