Reaction Steps

CuI (0.932 g, 4.89 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-bromo-5-fluoro-2-[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]aniline (0.700 g, 2.45 mmol) in DMF (25 mL). The resulting suspension was heated at 100° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was partitioned between 10% aqueous Na2S2O3 and Et2O. The aqueous layer was extracted with Et2O. The combined organic layers were washed with 5 N aqueous NaOH and brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated. The crude product was used in the next step without further purification.
