Triphenylphosphine → ((2-Fluoro-5-nitrophenyl)ethynyl)trimethylsilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.126 ml of ethynyl(trimethyl)silane, 55 mg of triphenylphosphine and 24 mg of palladium (2+) acetate are added to a solution of 1.169 g of 2-bromo-1-fluoro-4-nitrobenzene in 13 ml of triethylamine with stirring and under argon. After four and a half hours at a temperature of 100° C., the reaction medium is cooled and the insoluble material is filtered off through sintered glass. The filtrate is concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. After two silica column purifications, eluent: 90/10 heptane/EtOAc then 95/5 heptane/EtOAc, 460 mg of [(2-fluoro-5-nitrophenyl)ethynyl](trimethyl)silane are obtained in the form of a yellow solid, the characteristics of which are the following:
