Reaction Steps

Ethynyl(phenyl)iodonium trifluoromethanesulfonate (3.78 grams, 10 millimoles) dissolved in 10 milliliters of methylene chloride was mixed with sodium benzoate (7.2 grams, 50 millimoles) dissolved in 20 milliliters of water. The reactants were stirred for 5 minutes at 0° C. The organic layer was concentrated by evaporation and chromatographed on silica gel columns to isolate 0.77 grams of ethynyl benzoate (53% yield). The product was identified by spectroscopic means, and had a melting point of 43° C.(dec).
