R. Pereira et al., Regioselective palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions in the synthesis of novel 2,3-disubstituted thiophene derivatives, TETRAHEDRON, 57(37), 2001, pp. 7871-7881
A reactivity optimization study of the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling r
eactions of 2,3-dibromothiophene and organometallic reagents has been condu
cted. Regioselective coupling at the C2 position, accomplished most notably
by Suzuki coupling, was combined with a Stille reaction at C3 using Fu's m
odification, to afford the 2,3-disubstituted thiophene derivatives. (C) 200
