Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-6-bromobenzonitrile (1.97 g, 10.0 mmol), 3,3-dimethylbut-1-yne (2.46 g, 30 mmol), K2CO3 (2.76 g, 20.0 mmol), and CuI (191 mg, 0.1 mmol) in DME/H2O (4:1, 50 mL) was added Pd(PPh3)4 (1.16 g, 0.1 mmol) at room temperature under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was refluxed under nitrogen overnight. After it was cooled down to room temperature, the reaction was quenched with brine, extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel eluting with 20% EtOAc in hexanes to give the title compound as a light brown oil (1.84 g, 93%). 1H NR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 1.27 (s, 9H), 6.10 (s, 2H), 6.59 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 6.71 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.18-7.22 (m, 1H). MS 199 (MH+).
