Ammonium Chloride → 6-Methylhept-3-yn-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

22 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran and 25 ml of a 1 Methyl magnesium bromide tetrahydrofuran solution were added to a nitrogen-substituted flask, and thereafter, 2.9 ml of 4-methylpentine was slowly added dropwise to the mixed solution. The obtained solution was stirred at a room temperature for 1 hour, and thereafter, 25 ml of a 1.1 M ethylene oxide tetrahydrofuran solution was slowly added dropwise to the reaction solution at a room temperature. The obtained solution was further stirred at a room temperature overnight. Thereafter, 100 ml of a saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution was added to the reaction solution, and the obtained solution was then extracted with 100 ml of diethyl ether twice. It was dried over magnesium sulfate. The magnesium sulfate was filtrated, and the organic layer was then concentrated. The generated alcohol was directly used in the subsequent reaction (yield: 3.78 g).
