A practical microwave-assisted CH activation for the preparation of several phenoxythieno[3,2-b]pyridines is reported here. This new strategy is an efficient alternative to the conventional methods currently used. The optimized conditions can also be applied to a one-pot approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
