The solution was degassed for 30 minutes by bubbling argon through the solution. At this time CuI (130 mg, 0.68 mmol) (Aldrich) and (Ph3P)2PdCl2 (400 mg, 0.57 mmol) (Aldrich) were added, and the reaction was heated, under argon, at 70° C. for 22 hours. Water (20 mL) was then added and the precipitate was filtered off and dried. The product was purified via flash column chromatography (SiO2, 230-400 mesh) with 1% MeOH/CHCl3 to give (Z)-1,3-dihydro-3-[(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene]-5-(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl-2H-indol-2-one as a yellow powder. (Yield 1.07 g, 51%).
