Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 4-bromo-2-chlorobenzoate (400 mg, 0.0016 mol), copper(I) iodide (30 mg, 0.00016 mol), 3,3-dimethyl-1-butyne (0.29 mL, 0.0024 mol) and bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride (110 mg, 0.00016 mol) in Et3N (5 mL) and DMF (2 mL) was heated at 100° C. in a 50 mL sealed reaction vessel for 32 hours. After cooling, the mixture was filtered through Celite® and the filter cake was washed repeatedly with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel to give the product (330 mg, 82%) as a light yellow oil.
