Reaction Steps

A solution of {[4-(difluoromethoxy)phenyl]ethynyl}(trimethyl)silane (10.0 g, 41.7 mmol) in MeOH/CH2Cl2 (1/1) was treated with cesium carbonate (16.3 g, 50 mmol) at room temperature, stirred for 1.5 h, diluted with CH2Cl2 and filtered through a pad of silica gel. The filtrate was concentrated to dryness to give the title compound (6.8 g, 97%) as an oil. MS (+) EI: 168.
