Reaction Steps

To a degassed solution of compound 1 (9.12 g, 30 mmol) in diisopropylamine (180 ml) under nitrogen, Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (140 mg, 0.2 mmol) and CuI (78 mg, 0.4 mmol) were added. Then trimethylsilyl acetylene (3.3 g, 33 mmol) was added dropwise to this clear solution. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. The salt formed during the reaction procedure was filtered off and washed well with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness and hydrolyzed with concentrated hydrochloric acid (5 ml), water (25 ml) and crushed ice (10 g), then extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic paste was washed with brine and dried with MgSO4. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography (petroleum ether-ethyl acetate=9:1) to give a yellow oil of 2. Yield 7.9 g (96%);
