[CH2:1](Br)[C:2]#[CH:3].[Br:5][C:6]1[CH:11]=[CH:10][C:9]([F:12])=[CH:8][C:7]=1[OH:13].C(=O)([O-])[O-].[K+].[K+]>CN(C)C=O>[Br:5][C:6]1[CH:11]=[CH:10][C:9]([F:12])=[CH:8][C:7]=1[O:13][CH2:3][C:2]#[CH:1]A solution of 42.95 g (0.36 mol) of propargyl bromide in 30 ml of dimethylformamide was added dropwise to a suspension of 50 g (0.26 mol) of 2-bromo-5-fluoro-phenol and 55 g of potassium carbonate in 300 ml of dimethylformamide and the mixture was subsequently stirred at room temperature for two hours. The mixture was poured on to 1500 ml of ice-water and extracted three times with 600 ml of dichloromethane each time. After drying over sodium sulfate concentration was carried out in a vacuum. The crude product obtained was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane/hexane 1:1). 58 g (97%) of 1-bromo-4-fluoro-2-prop-2-ynyloxy-benzene were obtained as a pale yellow oil.
