2-Methyl-3-butyn-2-ol → HCID 22959839, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

By the method of Example (IV-1), 100 mmol of 3-bromo-6-chloro-4-fluoro-toluene are reacted with 2-methyl-3-butin-2-ol to give 1-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-methyl-phenyl) -3-methyl-1-butin-3-ol, except that the mixture is only filtered after the reaction and not concentrated. The filtrate is then admixed with 1.5 g of sodium hydroxide (powder) and the mixture is heated to the boil in a distillation apparatus (with Vigreux column). Distillate is continuously removed, until the boiling point of triethylamine (89° C.) is reached. The mixture is then allowed to cool, filtered and washed with some ml of triethylamine. The filtrate is subsequently subjected to fractional distillation.
