Reaction Steps

2-(1-Hexyn-1-yl)-N-methyl-N-(methyloxy)benzamide (158) (1.0 g, 4.08 mmol) was treated with benzylmagnesium chloride in THF at 0° C. to give 0.88 g (78%) of compound 171 as a yellow oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 0.93 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H), 1.40-1.53 (m, 2H), 1.56-1.65 (m, 2H), 2.45 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 4.43 (s, 2H), 7.20-7.26 (m, 4H), 7.27-7.36 (m, 2H), 7.34-7.39 (m, 1H), 7.45-7.52 (m, 2H). LCMS (ESI): m/z 277 (M+H)+.
