Reaction Steps

3,3-Dimethylbut-1-yne (1.6 g, 20 mmol) was added to a solution of 2,6-dibromophenol (5.0 g, 20 mmol) and Cu2O (1.7 g, 12 mmol) in dry pyridine (50 mL) under N2, then the mixture was heated to about 55° C. and stirred overnight. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to give a residue, which was dissolved in EtOAc. This solution was washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was removed and the residue was purified by column chromatography to afford 7-bromo-2-tert-butyl-benzofuran (1.3 g, 26%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): 1.40 (S, 9H), 6.41 (s, 1H), 7.04 (t, 1H), 7.38 (d, 1H), 7.42 (d, 1H).
