Utilization of polar solvents like MeOH, EtOH, and wet MeCN resulted in the hydration of 2-ethynylaniline to form 2′-aminoacetophenone, and reaction in nonpolar solvents like CH₂Cl₂ and toluene led to the product formation only in 10% and 15% yield, respectively.

General Procedure for the Gold-Catalyzed Dimerization of 2-Ethynylanilines 2a-o; Representative Procedure for 2,4-Dibromo-6-(6,8-dibromo-4-methyl-2-quinolinyl)-phenylamine (2l, Table 2, Entry 12)
To a mixture of AuCl₃ (27.57 mg, 0.09 mmol) and AgOTf (46 mg, 0.181 mmol) under N₂ was added dry MeCN (2 mL) and stirred for 15 min at 25 ˚C. To the mixture was added a solution of 2,4-dibromo-6-ethynylaniline (1l, 500 mg, 1.81 mmol) in dry MeCN (2 mL) at 25 ˚C, and the whole was gradually warmed up to reflux temperature and stirred for the specified time (Table [²] ). After completion of the reaction as indicated by TLC, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by column chromatog-raphy over silica gel (100-200 mesh) to afford pure product 2,4-dibromo-6-(6,8-dibromo-4-methyl-2-quinolinyl)phenyl-amine(2l) as a yellow solid; mp 186-188 ˚C.
