Reaction Steps

Using Method D above, 4-bromoanisole (Aldrich) was coupled with trimethylsilylacetylene (Aldrich) using (Ph3P)2PdCl2 and CuI as catalyst in DMF and Et3N as solvent and was heated at reflux for 1 day. The resulting trimethylsilyl derivative was hydrolized with aqueous potassium hydroxide to give 4-methoxyphenyl acetylene.
