Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5.0 g (37.9 mmol) of 1-phenyl-2-propyne-1-ol in 20 ml of dimethyl formamide were added 6.9 g (45.8 mmol) of t-butyl dimethylsilyl chloride and 6.2 g (91.1 mmol) of imidazole, and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours, 50 ml of water was added and the mixture was extracted with a pentane-ether (1:1) mixture (4×30 ml). The organic layer was washed with water (30 ml) and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate (30 mg) and thereafter concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel 100 g, cyclohexane-ethyl acetate) and further distilled (dp 98° C./1 mm Hg) to give 5.7 g (24.7 mmol, 65%) of the subject compound.
