Procedure

To a solution of 4-bromobenzaldehyde (10.00 g, 54.08 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (0.500 g, 1.91 mmol) in anhydrous triethylamine (80 mL) under Angon, were added ethynyltrimethylsilane (6.00 g, 61.09 mmol) and palladium (II) acetate (0.100 g, 0.445 mmol). The final mixture was heated to reflux for 2 hours, and then it was cooled down to room temperature and filtrated. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to a thick oil, which was purified by column chromatography (dichloromethane/petroleum ether 1:4) and recrystallized from cold cyclohexane to give 10.5 g (96.1% yield) of 4-(trimethylsilylethynyl)benzaldehyde; MS m/e 187.2 (M+); 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ ppm: 0.27 (s, 9H, SiMe3), 7.60 (d, 2H, ArH, J=8.1 Hz), 7.82 (d, 2H, ArH, J=8.1 Hz), 10.00 (s, 1H, CHO)]. This compound (8.00 g, 39.59 mmol) was treated with K2CO3 (0.500 g) in methanol (50 mL) at 25° C. for 2 hours, under Argon. The solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue dissolved in dichloromethane (100 mL). This solution was washed once with an aqueous saturated solution of NaHCO3 and once with water, before being dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and the solvent evaporated under vacuum. The yellow residue was purified by column chromatography using dichloromethane/petroleum ether 1:4 for elution and recrystallization from cold cylohexane to give 4.40 g (85.5% yied) of the title compound; MS (EI) m/e 130.0; (M+). 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ ppm: 3.30 (s, 1H, CH), 7.64 (d, 2H, ArH, J=8.1 Hz), 7.84 (d, 2H, ArH, J=8.1 Hz), 10.02 (s, 1H, CHO).
