Late-Stage Diversification Strategy
A rapid synthesis of thiophene-based TAK-779 analogues is reported using a late-stage diversification strategy. At the end of the synthesis, the key building block, which was prepared in six steps from thiophene, was arylated regioselectively at the α-position directly with iodoarenes.
