Carbon Tetrachloride → 1-Chloromethyl-4-prop-2-ynyloxymethyl-benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (4-prop-2-ynyloxymethyl-phenyl)-methanol (190 mg, 1.1 mmol) described in Manufacturing Example 194-1-1, triphenylphosphine (340 mg, 1.3 mmol), and carbon tetrachloride (3 mL) was stirred for 6 hours under reflux. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, after which the reaction mixture was concentrated under a reduced pressure. The residue was purified by neutral silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:heptane=1:10) to obtain the title compound (180 mg, 84%).
