To a solution of 2-bromo-6-fluorobenzaldehyde (Description 39; 10.0 g, 49.3 mmol) and (trimethylsilyl) acetylene (13.94 ml, 98.6 mmol) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (250 ml) under an atmosphere of nitrogen was added triethylamine (10.25 ml, 73.95 mmol), copper (I) iodide (0.94 g, 4.93 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (1.73 g, 2.47 mmol). The mixture was degassed and stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was poured into water (600 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×200 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with water (3×300 ml), brine (200 ml) then dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with 5% Et2O in iso-hexanes to give the title compound (10.38 g, 95%).
