Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-Difluoromethoxy-4-iodo-benzene (0.21 g, 0.79 mmol) in DMF (3.5 ml) were added TEA (0.55 mL, 57.4 mmol) and 4-(5-Ethynyl-2-fluoro-phenyl)-butyronitrile (0.48 g, 0.79 mmol). The reaction was degassed by bubbling argon through it for 5 min and then dichlorbis(triphenylphospine)palladium (0.0.28 g, 0.04 mmol), and copper iodide (0.008 g, 0.57 mmol) were added simultaneously. The reaction mixture was heated at 65° C. for 15 min. cooled and quenched with 0.1 N HCl (10 ml). The aqueous layer was extracted with Et2O (3×10 ml). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (25 ml), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. The crude material was purified by silica gel chromatography (10-20% Ethyl acetate/Petroleum Ether) to afford the titled compound (0.235 g, 90%) as a brown oil that solidified on standing, and was identified by NMR and mass spectral analyses. MS (EI+): 329 (M+).
