Benzonitrile → 1-Phenyl-1-hexyne

Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure was identical to Example 1, with the exception that 1-hexyne (0.450 ml; 0.329 g; 4.00 mmol) was used as a substrate instead of phenylacetylene. GC analysis of the organic phase of the hydrolyzed reaction sample after 20 h at 65° C. showed the presence of 1.90 mmol (95% yield) of 1-hexynylbenzene and and 0.08 mmol of benzonitrile remaining in the reaction mixture.
