Reaction Steps

To a mixture of [PdCl2(PPh3)2] (1.73 g) and copper(I) iodide (845 mg) under Ar is added a degassed solution of 7-iodo-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]dioxepine (7) (15.0 g) in diisopropylamine (225 ml) and THF (225 ml). Trimetylsilylacetylene (7.27 g) is added and the mixture is stirred over night at 57° C. After addition of AcOEt (1 L) and filtration over dicalite, the solution is washed with 1 N aq. HCl sol. (3×1 L) and brine (2×1 L). The organic layer is dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent is evaporated to yield (3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]dioxepin-7-ylethynyl)-trimethyl-silane (6b) as a brown oil.
