Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-iodo-5-(2-nitro-phenyl)-thiophene (28 g, 84 mmol) in piperidine (235 ml) were added successively copper(I) iodide (0.8 g, 4.2 mmol), bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride (2.9 g, 4.2 mmol) and 3,3-dimethyl-1-butyne (14 g, 0.17 mol). This mixture was stirred for 16 hours at room temperature. Subsequently, it was poured into 1 litre of water, stirred for 15 minutes and extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The remaining oil was purified by silica gel chromatography using ethyl acetate and hexane as eluents, giving Compound No. 6.030.i (22 g).
