Trimethylsilylacetylene → HCID 178504179, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of (S)-2-(5-iodo-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (524 mg, 1.135 mmol), CuI (22 mg, 0.114 mmol) and bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (II) dichloride (40 mg, 0.056 mmol) in DMF (4 mL) is added TEA (0.47 mL, 3.4 mmol) followed by ethynyl-trimethylsilane (0.17 mL, 1.25 mmol). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight and concentrated in vacuum to dryness. The residue is purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (EtOAc/hexanes 5% to 100%) to give a yellow residue which is triturated twice with DCM to afford the title compound (S)-2-(5-trimethylsilanylethynyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (340 mg, 70%).
