Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-iodonitrobenzene (25 g, 100 mmol), dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) (0.30 g, 0.43 mmol) and copper (I) iodide (0.18 g, 0.95 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (300 mL) and triethylamine (150 mL) was degassed under Argon for 10 minutes. The mixture was then heated to 55° C. and treated with 5-chloropentyne (12 mL, 110 mmol) via syringe. After 30 minutes of stirring, additional quantities of dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) (0.10 g) and 5-chloropentyne (1 mL) were added. After another 30 minutes of stirring, the mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and then was filtered through a pad of Celite diatomaceous earth. The filtrate was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to provide 1-(5-chloropent-1-ynyl)-4-nitrobenzene, which was carried on without further purification. ES/MS calcd. for C11H11ClNO2+ 224.1. found m/z=224.2 (M+1-1)+.
