Trimethylsilylacetylene → HCID 69342593, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3.27 g of 5-fluoro-2-iodo-4-trifluoromethyl-aniline (10.7 mmol) in 20 ml triethylamine were added 3763 mg of Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (0.5 mmol), 102 mg of CuI (0.5 mmol) and 1.63 ml of ethinyltrimethylsilane (11.8 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred over night at rt before most of the triethylamine was removed under reduced pressure. Then DCM was added and the resulting suspension was filtered. The filtrate was then concentrated and the residue purified by chromatography (silica gel; cyclohexane/EtOAc 9:1) to yield 2.83 g (96%) of 5-fluoro-4-trifluoromethyl-2-trimethylsilanylethynyl-phenylamine contaminated with triethylamine as a dark red liquid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): δ 0.26 (s, 9H), 4.68 (br s, 2H), 6.44 (d, J=12 Hz, 1H), 7.51 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H).
