Addition of methylmagnesium bromide to methyl 2-amino-5-bromobenzoate (I) provides the tertiary alcohol (II). Subsequent ring closure of the amino carbinol (II) with acetaldehyde leads to the benzoxazine (III). Treatment of the bromobenzoxazine (III) with bis(pinacolato)diboron (IV) and [1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium(II) chloride furnishes the aryl borate (V). This is finally subjected to Suzuki coupling with 5-bromo-2-thiophenecarbonitrile (VI) to produce the title benzoxazinyl thiophene derivative.
