Procedure: To a solution of (E)-methyl 3-(4-((2-bromo-6-methoxybenzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)oxy)phenyl)acrylate (100 mg, 0.238 mmol) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (3.0 mL) was added (2-(methoxymethyl)phenyl)boronic acid (79 mg, 0.477 mmol). [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) (17.5 mg, 0.024 mmol) and Na2CO3 (2.0N aqueous, 0.358 mL, 0.715 mmol). The resulting mixture was subjected to microwave irradiation at 100° C. for 20 min after which time the reaction was diluted with EtOAc, added anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, 0-20% EtOAc/Heptane) to afford (E)-methyl 3-(4-((6-methoxy-2-(2-(methoxymethyl)phenyl)benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)oxy)phenyl)acrylate (86.6 mg, 0.188 mmol, 79% yield). LC/MS (m/z, M+H2O): 478.0. irradiation at 100° C. for 20 min after which time the reaction filtered concentrated in vacuo The crude material was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, 0-20% EtOAc/Heptane)

Procedure: 2-Chloro-5-(2-methoxymethyl-phenyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine was prepared from 8-bromo-2-chloro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (546.0 mg, 2.35 mmol) and 2-(methoxymethyl)phenylboronic acid (545.0 mg, 3.29 mmol) in a manner analogous to Example 2c. Product was isolated as a white solid (0.384 g, 60%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ, ppm): 7.72-7.41 (m, 6H), 7.09-7.05 (m, 1H), 4.30 (br s, 2H), 3.16 (s, 3H). MS=274 (MH)+.

Procedure: Methyl 4-bromo-3-methylbenzoate (Aldrich 532878, 2 g; 8.73 mmol; 1 eq.), (2-methoxymethylphenyl)boronic acid (1.59 g; 9.60 mmol; 1.10 eq.), K2CO3 (6.03 g; 43.65 mmol; 5 eq.), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (1.01 g; 0.87 mmol; 0.10 eq.) were taken up in Toluene (10 mL) and water (10 mL) under N2 atmosphere. The reaction mixture was purged with vacuum, then degassed with N2 and then for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT, filtered over a pad of celite and washed with EtOAc (500 mL). The filtrate was concentrated to afford a yellow oil which was taken in EtOAc (100 mL). The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 solution (30 mL), water (30 mL) and brine (30 mL), dried over MgSO4 and concentrated affording the title compound as a brown oil used without further purification (3 g, quantitative). HPLC (Method A) Rt 5.20 min (Purity: 64.5%).
