Procedure

Methyl 4-iodobenzoate (13.1 g, 60 mmol), PdCl2(PPh3)2 (2.0 g, 3 mmol), and CuI (855 mg, 4.5 mmol) were added to TEA (60 mL). The mixture is degassed while stirring by bubbling N2 vigorously into the solution. Pent-4-yn-1-ol (5.5 g, 66 mmol) was added by syringe. The mixture was heated at 90° C. overnight. After cooling, the crude mixture was concentrated by rotary evaporation and pumped on the high vacuum for 1 h. The oil was dissolved in DCM and adsorbed onto Celite followed by purification by chromatography (gradient 10-100% EtOAc/Hexanes) to give the title compound as a light yellow powder (9 g, 69%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.95 (dd, 2H, J=9.0, 1.5 Hz), 7.44 (dd, 2H, J=9.0, 1.5 Hz), 3.90 (s, 3H), 3.85 (m, 2H), 2.57 (t, 2H, J=5.5 Hz), 1.87 (m, 2H), 1.42 (t, 1H, J=5.5 Hz); ES/MS calcd. for C13H15O3+ 219.1. found m/z=219 (M+H)+.
