Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl3-amino-4-(3-methylbut-1-ynyl)benzoate (Compound 32, 5.30 g, 22.9 mmol) in DMF (50 ml) at 25° C. under argon then added CuI (218 mg, 11.5 mmol). The reaction was heated for 2 h at 160° C., filtered off black solid, and then rinsed solid with EtOAc, organic layer was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (0→20% EtOAc-hexanes) to yield the title compound as a yellow solid.
