Procedure

To the mixture of 3-fluoro-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (0.589 g, 3.0 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.8 g, 13.0 mmol) in methanol (65 mL) at room temperature was added slowly dimethyl 1-diazo-2-oxopropylphosphonate (1.4 g, 7.2 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, quenched with saturated sodium bicarbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with water, brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (10% EtOAc in hexanes) to provide 4-ethynyl-2-fluoro-1-methoxybenzene (622) (0.750 g, 76.9%) as a colorless oil.
