Reaction Steps

Reaction Scheme 4 discloses a specific synthetic route to 3-tert-butylphenyl ethyne (Compound 22) starting with meta bromobenzoic acid (Compound 23), which is treated with trimethylaluminum in hexane to yield 3-tert-butyl bromobenzene (Compound 24). 3-Tert-butyl bromobenzene 24 is thereafter converted into the ethyne derivative 22 through the trimethylsilyl ethyne intermediate 25 in steps similar to the steps described in connection with Reaction Scheme 3.
