Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

25 mg of copper iodide, 44 mg of bis-(triphenylphosphine)-palladium dichloride, 0.30 mL triethylamine and finally 0.14 mL of trimethylsilylacetylene are added under argon to a solution of 0.32 g 1-chloro-4-(β-D-glucopyranos-1-yl)-2-[4-(trifluoromethylsulphonyloxy)-benzyl]-benzene in 3 mL of dimethylformamide. The flask is tightly sealed and stirred for 8 h at 90° C. Then another 25 mg of bis-(triphenylphosphine)-palladium dichloride and 0.1 mL trimethylsilylacetylene are added, and the solution is stirred for a further 10 h at 90° C. Then aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution is added, the resultant mixture is extracted three times with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic phases are dried over sodium sulfate. After the solvent has been eliminated the residue is dissolved in 5 mL of methanol and combined with 0.12 g potassium carbonate. The mixture is stirred for 1 h at ambient temperature and then neutralized with 1 M hydrochloric acid. Then the methanol is evaporated off, the residue is combined with brine and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts collected are dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent is removed. The residue is chromatographed through silica gel (dichloromethane/methanol 1:0->5:1).
