Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 4-(2,6-dimethylphenylethynyl)-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetylamino)-benzoate (103 mg, 270 μmol), copper (I) iodide (2 mg, 10 μmol), triphenylphosphine (6 mg, 23 μmol), and K3PO4 (117 mg, 550 μmol) in dioxane (2 mL) was heated at 115° C. in a microwave apparatus for 15 min. The solution was concentrated, then chromatographed using a gradient of 0-40% heptane/ethyl acetate to afford methyl 2-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-1H-indole-6-carboxylate.
