Abstract
2-Acetyl-5-bromothiophene and 4-(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)-2-methyl-1,3-thiazole, as deactivated bromide candidates, were prepared and used for Suzuki cross-coupling reactions with a number of aryl(hetaryl)boronic acids in water or DMF as solvents. The cross-coupling reactions were carried out under thermal heating as well as microwave irradiating conditions using a benzothiazole-based Pd(II)-precatalyst. Optimization of the catalytic reaction condition was also studied.
