Regioselective Suzuki coupling of benzofuran or benzothiophene boronic acids and dibromo substituted naphthalenes: synthesis of a potent inhibitor of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1

An efficient route to the biologically active naphthyl benzofuran derivative is described. The synthesis highlights a regioselective Suzuki coupling of a benzofuran and a dibromo substituted naphthalene. The scope of regioselective Suzuki coupling has been investigated.
