Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 250 ml reaction flask equipped with condenser, stirrer, heating mantle, thermometer and Dean Stark trap is placed 29.4 grams (0.3 moles) of 3-hexyn-1-ol; 34.8 grams (0.3 moles) of n-hexanoic acid; 100 ml toluene and 0.2 ml concentrated sulfuric acid. With stirring, the reaction mass is refluxed for a period of four hours. At the end of the four hour period, the reaction mass is then cooled to room temperature and washed with two volumes of 10% sodium carbonate followed by two volumes of saturated sodium chloride solution. The reaction mass is then distilled on a one plate short path column yielding the following fractions:
