Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice cooled and stirred solution of propargylic acid (285 mg, 4.01 mmol) and 4-phenylphenol (693 mg, 4.07 mmol) in dry diethyl ether was added dropwise a solution of N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC, 840 mg, 4.07 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP, 3.2 mg, 0.03 mmol) in dry diethyl ether (10 mL) during 2 h under nitrogen atmosphere. Reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 10 h, filtered and the solid was washed with diethyl ether. Then, the combined filtrate was washed with 1 N HCl solution followed by washing with brine and dried with anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give the crude product that was then purified by column chromatography using ethyl acetate:hexane (1:9) as an eluant to give compound 1 (0.81 mg, 90%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 3.12 (s, 1H), 7.24 (s, 1H), 7.26 (s, 1H), 7.38 (s, 1H), 7.47 (t, J=7.8 Hz, 2H), 7.57 (s, 1H), 7.59 (s, 1H), 7.62 (s, 1H), 7.64 (s, 1H). HRMS ESI (m/z): Calculated for C15H10O2 ([M+H]+): 223.0681. found: 223.0734.
