1-Bromo-2-iodobenzene → HCID 19885888, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-bromo-2-iodobenzene (5 g, 17.7 mmol), 1-tridecyne (4.9 ml, 21.2 mmol), triphenylphosphine (5 mg), palladium (II) chloride (5 mg) in triethylamine (45 ml) was refluxed under argon for 15 h. After cooling, the mixture was poured into ice-cold dilute hydrochloric acid and extracted thoroughly with ethyl ether. Evaporation of the dried (magnesium sulfate) extracts gave an oil, which was purified by a silica column using hexane. Fractions with Rf of about 0.36 on evaporation gave the title alkyne as a brown oil.
