Procedure

More particularly, 4-iodoaniline (17.38 g), phenyl acetylene (10.4 g), and triphenyl phosphine (193 mg) are added to a three-necked 500 mL flask, which is fitted with a reflux condenser, nitrogen blanket, and an overhead mechanical stirrer. Bis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(II)dichloride (“Pd(PPH3)2Cl2]”) (94 mg) and CuI (38 mg) are then added with 100 mL of triethylamine (“Et3N”). The flask is maintained at room temperature overnight under a nitrogen atmosphere. Afterwards, the reaction mixture is cooled and filtered to remove the precipitate. The precipitate is washed with methylene chloride and the soluble portions are recombined with the filtrate. The solvent is then evaporated to yield 4-phenylethynyl aniline (“Compound E”) as a yellowish solid. Further purification, typically involves repeated re-crystallization from hexanes to give the final product as a pale yellow colored solid.
