Diisopropylamine → HCID 2185393, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1.60 g (11.0 mmol) 4-ethoxyphenylacetylene in 40 mL THF are added 3.10 g (11.0 mmol) 1-bromo-4-iodo-benzene under argon, followed by 0.18 g (0.22 mmol) Pd(dppf)Cl2CH2Cl2 as catalyst, 0.04 g (0.22 mmol) copper(I)iodide and 3.10 mL (21.9 mmol) diisopropylamine as base. The mixture is stirred at rt for 3 h. After that time, EtOAc is added and the organic layer is washed with ammonia (5%, 2×) and water (1×). The organic layer is separated, dried over magnesium sulphate and the solvent is evaporated. The residue is purified by column chromatography (silicia gel; PE:EtOAc 9:1) to yield the desired product.
