Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 7-tetradecynoic acid (1.22 g) and BF3 -etherate (1 ml) in 20 ml of sec-butyl alcohol was refluxed for 18 hours. The solution was diluted with ether and washed with saturated Na2CO3 solution, water, 2N NaOH, water, and saturated NH4Cl solution. The ether layer was dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed under reduced pressure to give 1.30 g of sec-butyl 7-tetradecynoate as a yellow liquid.
