Propargyl alcohol → 3-(2-Thienyl)-2-propyn-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of tetrakis (triphenylphosphine)palladium (300 mg, 0.25 mmol) and copper (I) iodide (100 mg, 0.50 mmol) in diisopropylamine (100 ml) under nitrogen was added 2-iodothiophene (6.3 g, 30 mmol). After stirring 1.5 h at room temperature a solution of propargyl alcohol (3.0 g, 33 mmol) in diisopropylamine (50 ml) was added. After 16 h at room temperature the mixture was filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was submitted to flash chromatography using dichloromethane as eluent to give 3.0 g (73%) of 3-(2-thienyl)-2-propyn-1-ol as a crude product.
