Reaction Steps

A reaction tube was charged with a solution of 3-bromo-5-[2-(quinolin-2-yl)ethyl]thieno[3,2-c]pyridin-4(5H)-on (100 mg, 0.260 mmol) in 1.5 mL of ethanol and 1.5 mL of toluene under argon. To this suspension, 3-methoxypyridin-4-ylboronic acid (39.7 mg, 0.260 mmol) and a 2M solution of Na2CO3 (41.3 mg, 0.389 mmol) were added. Then, tetrakis(triphenylphoshine)palladium (30.0 mg, 0.026 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was heated in a Biotage microwave at about 130° C. for about 30 min. The reaction was monitored by TLC (DCM/methanol=9:1). After completion of the reaction, EA was added followed by the addition of 1 N HCl. The mixture was extracted twice with EtOAc. The organic layer was basified with NaHCO3 and extracted with brine. The organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was dissolved in isopropanol. Isopropanol containing HCl was added. The precipitate was sucked off and recrystallized from hot ethyl acetate to give a white solid (32 mg, 29.8%).
