Reaction Steps

3-Iodobenzamide (I142) (1.00 g, 4.05 mmol), bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride (0.142 g, 5 mol %), copper(I) iodide (0.077 g, 10 mol %), DMF (4 mL) and diisopropylamine (12 mL) were loaded into a microwave tube. The mixture was degassed for ten minutes with nitrogen, then trimethylsilylacetylene (0.69 mL, 4.9 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture heated under microwave irradiation at 120° C. for 15 minutes. The volatiles were evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue chromatographed (Biotage Isolera, 40 g silica cartridge, 0-100% ethyl acetate/petroleum benzine 40-60° C.) to give the title compound (I143) (0.569 g, 65% yield) as a brown solid; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.88 (td, J=1.8, 0.5 Hz, 1H), 7.78 (ddd, J=7.8, 1.8, 1.2 Hz, 1H), 7.63-7.59 (m, 1H), 7.40 (td, J=7.8, 0.5 Hz, 1H), 6.05 (br s, 1H), 5.67 (br s, 1H), 0.26 (s, 9H). LCMS Method C: it 5.94 min, m/z 218.2 [M+H]+.
