摘要
Microwave irradiation promotes the rapid and efficient reaction of I thiophenol and aryl or heteroaryl halide using it copper or palladium catalyst and it range of ligands, depending upon substrate. Of particular utility is the use of copper(I) iodide (5 mol%) and trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diol as ligand under basic conditions and microwave irradiation to give the corresponding sulfide in high yield. This method for C-S bond formation is applied in the four-step synthesis of the clinical candidate VX-745 in 38% over-all yield. The inhibitory activity of VX-745 against p38 alpha MAPK is confirmed in Werner syndrome dermal fibroblasts at 1.0 mu M concentration by immunoblot assay
