4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → HCID 11097066, 화합물

A solution of 5-hexynyl alcohol (102 mmol) in pyridine (150 ml), under argon, was cooled to 0° C. and p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (204 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was kept at about 40C for 18 hours, poured into ice-water and then taken up in ether. The ether extract was washed with cold 10% hydrochloric acid, water and brine. The organic layer was dried and concentrated in vacuo to give 5-hexynyl p-toluenesulfonate. A solution of phenylacetylene (97 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (200 ml) containing a trace of triphenylmethane was cooled to 0° C. and then n-butyl lithium (37.3 ml of 2.6 mol in hexane) was added dropwise. The resulting solution was stirred at 0° C. for 10 minutes and hexamethylphosphoramide (21 ml) was added dropwise. After stirring for 10 minutes a solution of 5-hexynyl p-toluenesulfonate (97.1 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (200 ml) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours, diluted I with ether and the organic layer was washed with water and brine. The dried organic solution was concentrated and the product was purified by flash chromatography to give 1-phenylocta-1,7-diyne. A mixture of this compound (43 mmol), 2-bromobenzaldehyde (35.8 mmol), cuprous iodide (0.5 mmol) and bis(triphenylphosphine) palladium (II) chloride (0.7 mmol) in triethylamine (100 ml) was heated in an oil bath (95° C.) for one hour. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C., filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was dissolved in ether, washed with 10% hydrochloric acid, water and brine. The organic layer was dried and concentrated to give a product which was purified by flash chromatography to yield 2-(8-phenyl-1,7-octadiynyl)benzaldehyde. A solution of this compound (24.1 mmol) in ethyl acetate (100 ml) and 10% palladium on charcoal (1 g) was hydrogenated (40 psi of hydrogen) at room temperature for 15 minutes. The catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate concentrated to give the 2-(8-phenyloctyl)benzaldehyde.
