Reaction Steps

Bromophtalic anhydride (50.0 g, 0.22 mol), triethylamine (33.8 mL, 0.24 mol) and toluene (220 mL) were mixed in a glass reactor over nitrogen (g) atmosphere at room temperature. Bis(triphenylphosphine)palladiumchloride (0.77 g, 0.001 mol), CuI (0.42 g, 0.002 mol) and triphenylphosphine (0.87 g, 0.003 mol) were added and the temperature was raised to 50° C. Propyne (18.0 g, 0.45 mol) was slowly added through a gas inlet during 3 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through a glass filter funnel and the solution was concentrated to dryness to give crude solid product (40.1 g, 98%). The product was re-crystallized from toluene to give a light yellow solid (24.7 g, 60%).
