Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-iodobenzonitrile (10.0 g), copper(I) iodide (166 mg), triphenylphosphine (572 mg), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) chloroform adduct (904 mg), propargyl alcohol (2.83 ml), diisopropylethylamine (30.5 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (170 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 23 hr. The reaction mixture was added to brine, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=95:5-67:33) to give the object product (5.79 g) as a brown solid.
