Procedure: Palladium acetate (0.20 g, 8.9×10-4 mol) and tri-o-tolylphosphine (0.40 g, 1.31×10-3 mol) as well as 60 ml of NEt3 were placed in a 3-necked 100 ml round-bottomed flask equipped with a reflux condensor, a thermometer and a nitrogen adaptor. The resultant yellow mixture was then heated to reflux under N2. At about 70° C., the mixture turned deep-red but still maintained its homogeneity. While the mixture was still refluxing, 3-bromophenyl trimethylsilyl ether (7.10 g, 28.95 mmol) was introduced via the reflux column, allowing it to flow slowly along the wall of the column, into the reaction mixture. After about 15 minutes, degased phenylacetylene (3.11 g, 30.45 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture in a similar manner. As soon as the reactants were in contact, sudden rise in temperature and concomitant precipitation of white solids occurred. The color of reaction mixture became lighter as the reaction progressed. After about 3 hours, the reaction mixture was dark brown and no further change in color was observed even after 17 hours at 80° C. The cooled reaction mixture was poured into about 300 ml of water and extracted with ethyl ether (100 ml, 3×50 ml). The dark ethereal extract was subjected to rotary evaporation to afford a dark oil. About 20 ml of water was added to the dark oil and the mixture was rota-evaporated, in a 70° C-water bath for about 15 minutes. Then, 150 ml of methanol was added and rotary evaporation was resumed until all solvent was removed at 70° C. The resultant dark oil was then dried in vacuo at room temperature for 24 hrs and solidified into dark brown crude product (about 5.0g). Proton NMR (CDCl3): 5.18 (singlet, --OH), 6.71-7.67 (complex, aromatic H). The hydroxyl proton is readily exchanging with deuterium of D2O. IR(KBr): δ (OH) at 3350 cm-1 (strong and broad); δ (C≡C) at 2210 cm-1 (W). The crude product was used in the subsequent reaction without further purification. equipped with a reflux condensor The resultant yellow mixture was then heated to reflux under N2 At about 70° C. still maintained its homogeneity While the mixture was still refluxing was added to the reaction mixture in a similar manner As soon as the reactants were in contact, sudden rise in temperature and concomitant precipitation of white solids The color of reaction mixture After about 3 hours no further change in color was observed even after 17 hours at 80° C The cooled reaction mixture extracted with ethyl ether (100 ml, 3×50 ml) The dark ethereal extract was subjected to rotary evaporation to afford a dark oil the mixture was rota-evaporated, in a 70° C-water bath for about 15 minutes Then, 150 ml of methanol was added rotary evaporation was removed at 70° C The resultant dark oil was then dried in vacuo at room temperature for 24 hrs The crude product was used in the subsequent reaction without further purification

Procedure: Next, a dry 3 l, 3-neck flask, equipped with a mechanical stirrer and reflux condenser, and connected to a mineral oil bubbler, was flushed with a stream of argon. The flask was charged with substituted phenol (B) (200 g, 800 mmol), fresh magnesium turnings (21.6 g, 0.89 mol), THF (900 ml), and maintained at about 0° C. in an ice bath. Methyl iodide (2 ml) was added as the catalyst to initiate reaction. The reaction was kept under control by carefully applying and removing the ice bath as necessary to counter the significant heat generated. The resulting mixture was gently heated to reflux for 30 min to drive the reaction to completion, as evidenced by the dissolution of the magnesium. Once again the mixture was cooled to 0° C. in an ice bath, and chlorotrimethylsilane (133.5 g, 1.2 moles) was added. The resulting mixture was gently refluxed and monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC) to completion. The mixture was subsequently cooled to about 0° C., and 800 ml of water was slowly added to hydrolyze the silyl ether and magnesium salts. The organic layer was separated, washed with 2×100 ml portions of brine and dried over sodium sulfate. Removal of the volatile solvents provided 3-trimethylsilylphenol (C) as a yellow oil, further purified by flash chromatography (ligroin 950:ether=15:1) 116 g, 85% yield). Next, a dry 3 l, 3-neck flask, equipped with a mechanical stirrer reflux condenser was flushed with a stream of argon reaction removing the ice bath as necessary significant heat The resulting mixture was gently heated to reflux for 30 min the reaction to completion Once again the mixture was cooled to 0° C. in an ice bath The resulting mixture was gently refluxed The mixture was subsequently cooled to about 0° C.

Procedure: A dry 5 1, 3-neck flask with mechanical stirrer, connected to a mineral oil bubbler, was charged with m-bromophenol (A) (150 g, 870 mmol), dry tetrahydrofuran (THF, 2 l) and triethylamine (132.1 g, 1.3 mol). The contents of the flask were cooled to 0° C., and chlorotrimethylsilane was added dropwise. A voluminous white precipitate was formed. The reaction was allowed to equilibrate to room temperature over a period of 21 h. The mixture was then filtered to remove triethylamine hydrochloride. Removal of solvents precipitated some remaining hydrochloride salt. The mixture was further purified by repeatedly adding hexane followed by filtration to yield 3-bromo-O-trimethylsilylphenol (B) (207 g, 97% yield).
