Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-chloro-4,5-dipropargyloxybenzyl alcohol (1.00 g), potassium hydroxide (1.00 g), iodomethane (1.00 g) and tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (1.00 g) in tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, poured into ice-water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using toluene as an eluent to give 1-chloro-5-methoxymethyl-2,3-dipropargyloxybenzene (0.95 g). nD23.0 1.5450.
