Mechanism of the Week
To a stirred solution of 2-iodo-m-xylene (23.2 mg, 0.100 mmol) in toluene (1 mL) was added
Pd(OAc)2 (2.3 mg, 0.0102 mmol), Ad2PnBu (7.2 mg, 0.0201 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (97.7 mg, 0.300
mmol) at room temperature and the reaction mixture was heated to 100 °C. After stirring for 10
min, 1-isocyano-2(phenylethynyl)benzene 4 (0.200 mmol) in toluene (2 mL) was added for 3 h and
stirred for 100 °C. After stirring for 1 h, the reaction mixture was neutralized by saturated aqueous
solution of NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc. The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried
over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica
gel column chromatography (hexane/EtOAc = 97/3) to give 4 (20.4 mg, 66%) as a colorless
crystal. 11
