Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-2-nitropyridine (1.00 g, 4.93 mmol) in N-methylpyrrolidinone (20 mL) were added trimethylsilyl acetylene (1.39 mL, 9.85 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (114 mg, 985 μmol), copper (I) iodide (37.5 mg, 197 μmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1.72 mL, 9.85 mmol) at room temperature, which was stirred under nitrogen atmosphere for 4 hours at 65° C. The reaction solution was partitioned into water and ethyl acetate at 0° C. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated aqueous sodium chloride, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was concentrated under a reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (heptane:ethyl acetate=6:1) to obtain the title compound (490 mg, 45%).
