Reaction Steps

In a sealed tube were introduced the 6-bromo-2-((tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)methyl)-7-(dimethylamino)quinoline-8-carbonitrile (946 mg, 2.25 mmol, 1.0 eq), PdCl2(PPh3)3 (79 mg, 0.11 mmol, 5% mol), copper iodide (21 mg, 0.11 mmol, 5% mol), and triphenylphosphine (106 mg, 0.39 mmol, 20% mol). Then, DMF (5 mL) was added followed by diethylamine (3.5 mL, 34 mmol, 15 eq) and trimethylsilylacetylene (350 μL, 2.5 mmol, 1.1 eq). The mixture was heated at 110° C. overnight. After cooling down the solvent was evaporated and the crude product was purified by column chromatography (Florisil, Cyclohexane-EtOAc 95:5) to afford 2-((tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)methyl)-7-(dimethylamino)-6-(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)quinoline-8-carbonitrile as a white solid (700 mg, 71%).
