Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(2-bromo-3-fluorophenyl)butyramide (2.0 g, 7.0 mmol) in Et3N (100 mL) was added 4,4-dimethylpent-2-yne (6.0 g, 60 mmol), CuI (70 mg, 3.8 mmol), and Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (500 mg) successively at room temperature under N2. The mixture was heated at 80° C. overnight. The cooled mixture was filtered and the filtrate was extracted with EtOAc (40 mL×3). The organic layers were washed with sat. NaCl, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and evaporated under vacuum. The crude compound was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (10% EtOAc in petroleum ether) to give N-(2-(3,3-dimethylbut-1-ynyl)-3-fluorophenyl)butyramide (1.1 g, 55%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.20 (d, J=7.6, 1H), 7.95 (s, 1H), 7.21 (m, 1H), 6.77 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 2.39 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 2H), 1.82-1.75 (m, 2H), 1.40 (s, 9H), 1.12 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H).
