Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice-cooled solution of 1.89 mL of isopropylacetylene in 35 mL of dry THF was added dropwise over 5 min, 10.0 mL of 1.6 M n-butyllithium. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° for 30 min after which time 828 mg of 1-(2-amino-5-fluorophenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanone was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° for 1.25 h after which time it was quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride and poured onto water. This mixture was extracted twice with ether and the combined extracts were washed with brine dried and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (elution with ethyl acetate/hexanes) affording 220 mg of the title compound as a tan solid.
