Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8.0 g of 6-bromo-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril, 6.95 g of trimethylsilylacetylene, 460 mg of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium dichloride and 62 mg of cuprous iodide in 53 ml of pyridine and 11 ml of triethylamine was refluxed for 3 days. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, 50 ml of methanol added along with 300 mg of potassium carbonate, and the mixture stirred under nitrogen for 18 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with 3% methanol in methylene chloride, giving a product of 6-ethynyl-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril, m.p. 182°-184° C.
