Proton magnetic resonance and carbon magnetic resonance spectra (1H NMR) were measured at 500 MHz with a Bruker AMX500 or at 200 MHz with a Varian Gemini spectrometer. Chemical shifts are reported in parts per million (ppm) downfield from tetramethylsilane ( scale). The multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, br = broad), number of protons and coupling constants (reported in Hz) are indicated in parentheses. Electron impact mass spectra EI (MS) were determined on a Kratos Concept 2H instrument using an ionization energy of 70 eV. Electrospray mass spectra ES (MS) were determined on a Micromass Quattro LC with a pump rate of 20 mL/min. Elemental analyses were performed at M-H-W Laboratories, Phoenix, Arizona, USA. The purity of all title compounds was judged to be > 95 % as determined by a combination of GC-MS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR analyses. In the preparation of TIPS-protected acetylenic precursors, all non-aqueous reactions were performed under an atmosphere of dry nitrogen or dry argon in flame or oven dried glassware equipped with a magnetic stir bar and a rubber septum. Standard inert atmosphere techniques were used in handling all air and moisture sensitive reagents. Reactions were monitored by analytical thin layer chromatography (TLC) using commercial aluminum sheets pre-coated (0.2 mm layer thickness) with silica gel 60 F254 (E. Merck). Product purification by conventional and flash column chromatography was performed using E. Merck Silica Gel (70-230 or 230-400 mesh). Petroleum ether refers to a mixture of hydrocarbons with a boiling range of 30 60 C. Anhydrous diethyl ether (ether), anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF) were freshly distilled from benzophenone/sodium. Dry benzene, toluene, dimethylformamide (DMF), dichloromethane, and triethylamine were distilled from NaH or CaH. Cu(OAc)2 was prepared from the dihydrate Cu(OAc)22H2O by refluxing in acetic anhydride for 15 h prior to use. All commercial starting materials were purchase from Aldrich Chemical Company unless otherwise stated. Standard Desilylation/Oxidative Dimerization Method Using Cu(OAc)2 A solution of tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride (1.0 M in THF, 1 eq) in THF (5 mL) was added over 2 h via syringe pump to a stirred solution of Cu(OAc)2 (3 eq) and corresponding TIPS-acetylene (1 eq) in pyridine/ether (3:1) (substrate concentration was 3.3 mM). The blue solution became emerald green once addition began. Once addition was complete, the solution was poured into ether and HCl (1 M). The organic phase was washed excessively with HCl (1 M) until all pyridine was removed and the organic phase was dried and concentrated to yield a crude solid. The solid was further purified by chromatography (petroleum ether unless otherwise specified) to yield the dimer product. Standard Desilylation/Oxidative Dimerization Method Using CuCl/TMEDA A solution of tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride (1.0 M in THF, 1 eq) in THF (5 mL) was added over 2 h via syringe pump to a solution of CuCl (3 eq), TMEDA (100 eq) and corresponding TIPS-acetylene (1 eq) in benzene (substrate concentration was 3.3 mM). The lime-green solution became emerald green after addition began. Once addition was complete, the solution was poured into ether and HCl (1 M).

The mixture was then filtered through a pad of CeliteTM and the filtrate was concentrated to yield anthracen-9-yl-propynal (V) as a yellow solid (482 mg, 99 %), which was carried on directly to the next step. Step 5: Alkylation was achieved as follows. nBuLi (1.7 mL, 2.27 M, 3.86 mmol) was added to a 0 C solution of TIPS-acetylene (875 uL, 3.91 mmol) in THF (10mL) and was stirred at 0 oC for 1 h.

This oil was dissolved in a minimum amount of methylene chloride and diluted with pentane to precipitate any remaining triphenylphosphine oxide. This sequence was repeated until the addition of pentane produced no visible precipitation. The dibromide, (5-Anthracen-9-yl-3-dibromomethylene-penta-1,4-diynyl)-triisopropyl-silane (VIII), was isolated as a pale yellow oil (150 mg, 64 %).
