Procedure

To a room temperature, stirred solution of 3-phenyl-1-propyne (54.86 g, 0.4723 mol) and phenyl isocyanate (104 mL, 0.957 mol) in benzene (800 mL) under nitrogen was added dropwise over 30 minutes a solution of 1-nitrotridecane (109.14 g, 0.47583 mol) and triethylamine (6.7 mL, 0.048 mol) in benzene (400 mL), and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The mixture was refluxed for 6 hours, allowed to cool, and chilled. The solids were filtered off and the filtrate rotoevaporated to an oil. The oil was chromatographed on silica gel (1.4 kg, 230-400 mesh) using petroleum ether-ether (25:1, 15×1 L), and product fractions rotoevaporated to give an off-white solid; yield 96.1 g (62%), mp 45°-47° C.
