Phenylacetylene → 1-fluoro-4-(1-octynyl)benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure was identical to Example 2, with the exception that 1-octyne (0.590 ml; 0.441 g; 4.00 mmol) was used as a substrate instead of phenylacetylene and 4-fluorobenzonitrile (0.242 g; 2.00 mmol) was used as a substrate instead of benzonitrile. GC analysis of the organic phase of the hydrolyzed reaction sample after 45 h at 65° C. showed the presence of 1.34 mmol (67% yield) of 1-fluoro-4-(1-octynyl)benzene and no remaining 4-fluorobenzonitrile in the reaction mixture.
