Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-3-(1-methyl-2-(S)-pyrrolidinylmethoxy)-pyridine (272 mg, 1.00 mmol), bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride (18 mg, 0.025 mmol) and copper (I) iodide (2 mg, 0.025 mmol) in NEt3 (6.0 mL) was added 1-hexyne (0.237 mL, 2.00 mmol). The mixture was refluxed overnight and cooled to room temperature. Water (2 mL) was added, and solid sodium bicarbonate was added until the aqueous layer was saturated. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc, which was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column, eluting with NH4OH/MeOH/EtOAc 0:1:9 and 1:10:90 to afford an oil (174 mg, 64%).
