2-Methyl-3-butyn-2-ol → HCID 86627034, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 30 ml of acetonitrile solution containing 7.31 g (30.6 mmol) of 5-bromo-2-difluoromethoxyphenol obtained in Reference example 11-(a) were added 6.4 mg of cuprous chloride and 6.43 ml of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5TO 5.4.0]-7-undecene at −10° C., and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 30 minutes. To the reaction mixture was added dropwise 30 ml of acetonitrile solution containing 6.18 g (73.5 mmol) of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol which further contains 7.34 ml of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene and 5.05 ml of trifluoroacetic anhydride at −10° C. After completion of the dropwise addition, the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1.5 hours, and further at 0° C. for 2 hours. After completion of the reaction, water was added to the reaction mixture, and extracted with toluene. The organic layer after separation was washed successively with 2N hydrochloric acid, a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was applied to silica gel column chromatography (Eluent; hexane:ethyl acetate=9:1 (V/V)), and the fractions containing the desired compound were concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 4.88 g of the title compound as a colorless oil. (Yield: 52%)
