Procedure

A mixture of 35% potassium hydride in oil (6.04 g, 35% w/w, 53 mmols of potassium hydride) in 240 ml of sieve dried tetrahydrofuran was cooled to 0° C. The cold mixture was treated with homoterephthalic acid dimethyl ester (10.0 g, 48 mmols). The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour. Propargyl bromide (53 mmols) was added and the mixture stirred at 0° C. for 30 min., then at room temperature for 16 hours. The resulting mixture was treated with 4.8 ml of 50% acetic acid, then poured into 480 ml of water. The mixture was extracted with ether (2×250 ml). The ether extracts were combined, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to a brown oil. Chromatography on 250 g of flash silica gel (10% ether in hexane eluent) gave the product as a white solid mp 63°-65° C.
