Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-(p-toluenesulfonylamino)-1-propinyl 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl ketone (4.03 g, 10.0 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (40 ml), a 33% HBr/acetic acid solution (2.63 ml, 15.0 mmol) is added dropwise at 4° C. within 10 min. The reaction mixture is stirred for 1 h at 40° C. and extracted with CH2Cl2 and aqueous 1 N HCl solution. The organic layer is dried over MgSO4, the solvents evaporated, and the residue chromatographed on SiO2 with gradients of hexane/ethyl acetate (4:1 to 3:1) to yield the title compound as a greyish solid. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): 7.49 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H); 7.3-7.2; 7.2-7.1 (2m, 4H); 6.38 (s, 2H); 6.17 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H); 3.92 (s, 3H); 3.77 (s, 6H); 2.38 (s, 3H).
