Reaction Steps

0.63 g of 4-(1,1-dimethyl-2-propynyloxy)benzonitrile, 0.75 g of 2-iodopyrimidine, 18 mg of triphenylphosphine, 12 mg of palladium(II) chloride and 3.5 mg of copper(I) iodide were stirred overnight in 20 ml of triethylamine under nitrogen. The mixture was evaporated to dryness and then ethyl acetate and water were added. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel using ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:3) and subsequently ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:1) for the elution. There were obtained 580 mg of 4-[1,1-dimethyl-3-(2-pyrimidinyl)-2-propynyloxy]benzonitrile as an oil.
