Propargyl bromide → 1-(2-Hydroxy4-prop-2-ynyloxy-phenyl)-propan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2′,4′-dihydroxy-propiophenone (24.9 g, 0.15 mol), 3-bromo-propyne (24.2 g, 0.20 mol) and K2CO3 (20.7 g, 0.15 mol) in acetone (500 mL) was refluxed for 12 h. The reaction mixture was allowed assume room temperature and the precipitate was removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 0→2% MeOH in H2O), to give 26.2 g (85%) of 1-(2-hydroxy-4-prop-2-ynyloxy-phenyl)-propan-1-one.
