Reaction Steps

53 mg of copper(I) iodide, 293 mg of triphenylphosphine and 99 mg of palladium(II) chloride were dissolved in 320 ml of diethylamine. 10.4 g of 4-(1,1-dimethyl-2-propynyloxy)benzonitrile and 11.5 g of 2-iodopyridine were added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere for 3 days. Water and ethyl acetate were added and the organic phase was separated, dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel using ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:3) and then ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:2) for the elution to give 12.98 g of 4-[1,1-dimethyl 3-(2-pyridyl)-2-propynyloxy] benzonitrile in the form of an oil.
