Phenylacetylene → 1-Methoxy-3-(1-octynyl)benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure was identical to Example 1, with the exception that 1-octyne (0.590 ml; 0.441 g; 4.00 mmol) was used as a substrate instead of phenylacetylene and 3-methoxybenzonitrile (0.245 ml; 0.266 g; 2.00 mmol) was used as a substrate instead of benzonitrile. GC analysis of the organic phase of the hydrolyzed reaction sample after 23 h at 65° C. showed the presence of 1.60 mmol (80% yield) of 1-methoxy-3-(1-octynyl)benzene and no remaining 3-methoxybenzonitrile in the reaction mixture.
