Reaction Steps

To a deoxygenated solution of 2-bromo-4-nitroaniline (430 mg, 2.0 mmol) and 1-ethynyl-1-methyl-cyclopropane (630 mg, 8.0 mmol) in triethylamine (20 mL) was added CuI (76 mg, 0.40 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (140 mg, 0.20 mmol) under N2. The mixture was heated at 70° C. and stirred for 24 h. The solid was filtered off and washed with EtOAc (50 mL×3). The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate=10/1) to give 24(1-methylcyclopropyl)ethynyl)-4-nitroaniline (340 mg, 79%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.15-8.14 (m, 1 H), 7.98-7.95 (m, 1 H), 6.63 (d, J=6.9 Hz, 1 H), 4.80 (brs, 2 H), 1.38 (s, 3 H), 1.04-1.01 (m, 2 H), 0.76-0.73 (m, 2 H).
