Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 2-pentynoate (16.09 mL, 138 mmol) in dichloromethane (80 mL) was added potassium carbonate (20.65 g, 147.9 mmol) and then a solution of hydroxycarbonimidic dibromide (20.0 g, 98.6 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature over night. The solvent was then removed and purification by filtration (silica, dichloromethane then ethyl acetate) afforded the title compound (26.3 g, 88%) as a light yellow oil. MS: m/e=234.0 [M]+.
