Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl propiolate (2.15 mL, 21.2 mmol, 1.20 equiv) was added to a mixture of 1-bromo-3-iodobenzene (5.00 g, 17.7 mmol, 1 equiv), PdCl2(CH3CN)2 (367 mg, 1.41 mmol, 0.080 equiv), copper (1) iodide (135 mg, 0.707 mmol, 0.040 equiv) and potassium carbonate (2.93 g, 21.2 mmol, 1.20 equiv) in N,N-dimethylformamide (44 mL) at 22° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour, then was partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. The organic layer was washed sequentially with water and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. The washed solution was dried over sodium sulfate, and the dried solution was filtered. The filtrate was concentrated, and the residue was purified by flash-column chromatography on silica gel (hexanes, grading to 40% ethyl acetate-hexanes) to afford ethyl 3-(3-bromophenyl)prop-2-ynoate (1.08 g, 24%). Calc'd (M+1)+: 253.0. Found: 252.9.
