Reaction Steps

Following the procedure published by Feldman et al. (Org Lett. 2004, 6, 3897), a suspension of 4-ethynylbenzonitrile (50 mg, 0.393 mmol), 1-chloro-4-iodobenzene (94 mg, 0.393 mmol), L-proline (9 mg, 0.079 mmol), ascorbic acid (7 mg, 0.039 mmol), NaN3 (31 mg, 0.472 mmol), CuSO4 (3 mg, 0.020 mmol), and Na2SO4 (11 mg, 0.079 mmol) in DMSO (1.5 mL) was heated at 65° C. for 24 h. Upon cooling the mixture was diluted with H2O and stirred for 30 min at ambient temperature. The intermediate 4-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-benzonitrile (54 mg, 48%) was then obtained by vacuum filtration after washing with copious volumes of H2O and 20% NH4OH (˜20 mL). Reduction to the aldehyde was then conducted under conditions previously described.
