Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromo-N,N-dimethylbenzenesulfonamide (610 mg, 2.31 mmol) bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride (Pd(PPh3)2Cl2) (33 mg, 0.05 mmol), copper (I) iodide (5 mg, 0.03 mmol) and triethylamine (3 mL) was degassed with argon. To the above mixture was added a degassed solution of 2-ethynyl-benzaldehyde (300 mg, 2.31 mmol) in acetonitrile (3 mL). The resulting mixture was heated at 80° C. for 3 hours under argon, and then cooled to room temperature, treated with ethyl acetate, and then washed with water. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (RediSep® Flash column, 230-400 mesh, 5-40% ethyl acetate in hexane) gave 4-(2-formyl-phenylethynyl)-N,N-dimethyl-benzenesulfonamide (454 mg, 63%) as a brown oil. MS (ESI+) cald. for C17H15NO3S [(M+H)+] 313, obsd. 314.
