Procedure

A degassed solution of 5-Bromo-3-[(4-hydroxy-cyclohexyl)-(4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (70 mg, 0.15 mmol) and 3-fluorophenyl boronic acid (32 mg, 0.23 mmol) in a mixture of DME (2.0 mL) and 2M aqueous Na2CO3 (1.0 mL) was treated with Pd(PPh3)4 (17.6 mg, 0.015 mmol). The reaction was heated at reflux for 18 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried and concentrated to a residue that was purified by preparative chromatography using EtOAc:hexanes as eluent to provide 5-(3-Fluoro-phenyl)-3-[(4-hydroxy-cyclohexyl)-(4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester as an oil contaminated with triphenylphosphine oxide that could not be removed (61.7 mg). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): 7.65 (dd, 3H), 7.53 (t, 2H), 7.43 (m, 5H), 7.32 (m, 1H), 7.1 (m, 1H), 7.02 (s, 1H), 4.56 (m, 1H), 3.82 (s, 3H), 3.40 (m, 1H), 2.14 (br s, 1H), 2.05-1.88 (m, 4H), 1.78 (m, 1H), 1.68-1.54 (m, 5H), 1.51-1.26 (m, 4H), 0.98 (m, 1H), 0.75 (d, 3H), 0.72-0.54 (m, 2H).
