Procedure

Under argon condition, 4-bromobenzoic acid methyl ester (500 mg, 2.33 mmol), bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium dichloride (Pd(PPh3)2Cl2; 86.1 mg, 0.116 mmol), triphenylphosphine (PPh3; 18.3 mg, 0.0698 mmol), trimethylsilyl acetylene (TMS acetylene; 493 μL, 3.49 mmol), and triethylamine (Et3N; 486 μL, 3.49 mmol) were dissolved in 10 mL of well-dried tetrahydrofuran (dry THF) and stirred for 20 minutes at room temperature. To this was added again cuprous iodide (CuI; 8.86 mg, 0.0465 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 15 hours at room temperature. Upon completion of the reaction, the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure, and 20 mL of n-pentane was added to the residue. The mixture was filtered through celite pad to remove the precipitate. The resulting solution was concentrated by distillation under reduced pressure and purified by column chromatography to obtain 503 mg (2.16 mmol, 93%) of the desired compound.
