3-Butyn-1-OL → HCID 15332557, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere 97.2 g (0.356 mole) of 2,4-dichloroiodobenzene, 3.21 g (0.0046 mole) of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride, and 0.8 g (0.0042 mole) of copper(I) iodide were suspended in 50 mL of triethylamine and 100 mL of acetonitrile. This mixture was cooled in an ice/water bath to 0°-5° C., and 24.6 g (0.356 mole) of 3-butyn-1-ol dispersed in 25 mL of acetonitrile was added dropwise. Upon completion of addition, the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature at which it was stirred for approximately 16 hours. The solvent was evaporated from the reaction mixture under reduced pressure, leaving a brown oil as the residue. This oil was passed through a column of silica gel, eluting first with hexane and then with methylene chloride. Product-containing factions were combined, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, leaving 4-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-butyn-1-ol as the residue. The NMR spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure.
