Reaction Steps

To a degassed solution of methyl 1-(4-amino-3-bromophenyl)cyclopropane carboxylate (8 g, 0.03 mol) in Et3N (100 mL) was added ethynyl-trimethyl-silane (30 g, 0.3 mol), DMAP (5% mol) and Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (5% mol) under N2. The mixture was refluxed at 70° C. overnight. The insoluble solid was filtered off and washed with EtOAc (100 mL×3). The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to give a residue, which was purified by chromatography column on silica gel (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate=20:1) to give methyl 1-(4-amino-3-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)phenyl)cyclopropanecarboxylate (4.8 g, 56%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.27 (s, 1 H), 7.10 (dd, J=2.1, 8.4 Hz, 1 H), 6.64 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1 H), 3.60 (s, 3H), 1.55-1.51 (m, 2 H), 1.12-1.09 (m, 2 H), 0.24 (s, 9 H).
