Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 4-bromobenzaldehyde (10.00 g, 54.08 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (0.500 g, 1.91 mmol) in anhydrous triethylamine (80 mL) under argon were added ethynyltrimethylsilane (6.00 g, 61.09 mmol) and palladium (II) acetate (0.100 g, 0.445 mmol). The final mixture was heated to reflux for 2 hours, and was then cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to a thick oil, which was purified by column chromatography (dichloromethane/petroleum ether 1:4) and recrystallized from cold cyclohexane to give 10.5 g (96.1% yield) of 4-(trimethylsilylethynyl)benzaldehyde [MS m/e 187.2 (M+); 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ ppm: 0.27 (s, 9H, SiMe3), 7.60 (d, 2H, ArH, J=8.1 Hz), 7.82 (d, 2H, ArH, J=8.1 Hz), 10.00 (s, 1H, CHO)]. This compound (8.00 g, 39.59 mmol) was treated with K2CO3 (0.500 g) in methanol (50 mL) at 25° C. for 2 hours under Argon. The solvent was removed under vacuum, and the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (100 mL). This solution was washed once with a saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution, and once with water, was then dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and the solvent was evaporated under vacuum. The yellow residue was purified by column chromatography using dichloromethane/petroleum ether 1:4, and then recrystallized from cold cyclohexane to give 4.40 g (85.5% yield) of the title compound; MS (EI) m/e 130.0; (M+). 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ ppm: 3.30 (s, 1H, CH), 7.64 (d, 2H, ArH, J=8.1 Hz), 7.84 (d, 2H, ArH, J=8.1 Hz), 10.02 (s, 1H, CHO).
