To this was added under Argon Bis (triphenylphosphine) palladium(II) chloride (160 mg, 0.2 mmol), TEA (2.81 mL, 5 eq.), CuI (40 mg, 0.2 mmol) and Phenylacetylene (897 mg, 8.8 mmol). The reaction was heated at 55° C. for 2 days. The crude was filtered through celite and purified on silicagel using as eluent cyclohexan-ethyl acetate (7-3) affording 680 mg (yield: 56%)
