“…24 All prepared compounds are new and were characterized by melting point, LC-MS, HRMS, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectra. General procedure for synthesis of polycyclic compounds 4a,b, 7, 10 and 13 Mixture of 2-iodophenoxymethylhetarenes 3a, 6, 9, 12 or 3-(2-bromo-pyridin-3-yloxymethyl)-benzo [4,5]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole 3b (0.49 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (0.011 g, 0.049 mmol), Xantphos (0.057 g, 0.098 mmol), anhydrous Cs2CO3 (0.32 g, 0.98 mmol) and Ag2CO3 (0.068 g, 0.25mmol) in dry toluene (10 mL) was heated at 120 o C for 24 h in glass reactor under argon. Reaction mixture was filtered and solvent was removed under reduced pressure.…”
