Reaction Steps

A 75 mL thick wall glass tube with a teflon screw cap was charged with 5-bromo-N-methyl-4-(thiophen-2-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine (0.995 g, 3.68 mmol), acetonitrile (9 mL), triethylamine (3.00 ml, 3.68 mmol), dichlorobistriphenylphosphine palladium(II) (0.259 g, 0.368 mmol), copper(I) iodide (0.0351 g, 0.184 mmol), and ethynyltrimethylsilane (0.362 g, 3.68 mmol). The tube was capped and heated to 90° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated. The residue was purified via column chromatography on silica gel (gradient elution with 0-100% ethyl acetate-hexane) to afford N-methyl-4-(thiophen-2-yl)-5-(2-(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)pyrimidin-2-amine. MS m/z=288 [M+H]+. Calc'd for C14H17N3SSi: 287.
