Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a sealed tube were added methyl 5-bromopyridine-2-carboxylate (450 mg, 2.083 mmol) in THF (4 ml) followed by tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (193 mg, 0.167 mmol), copper(i) iodide (20 mg, 0.104 mmol), triethylamine (2.3 ml, 16.66 mmol) under N2. Finally cyclopropylacetylene (275 mg, 4.17 mmol) was added. The yellow mixture was stirred at 40° C. for overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. The solution was filtered and concentrated to give the crude material as an orange oil. The crude material was purified by chromatography through a Redi-Sep pre-packed silica gel column (40 g), eluting with a gradient of 15% to 30% to 45% EtOAc in Heptane, to provide methyl 5-(cyclopropylethynyl)picolinate (390 mg, 1.938 mmol, 93% yield) as an orange solid. MS m/z=202.2 (M+H).
