Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,4-dibromo-2-butene (5 g, 23.37 mmol) in 4 mL DMF was added phthalimide potassium salt (433 mg, 2.34 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 16 hours. The reaction was quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo to provide the product (250 mg). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ3.92 (d, 2H); 4.32 (d, 2H); 5.90 (m, 2H); 7.74 (m, 2H); 7.87 (m, 2H).
