Participants

Reaction Steps

In recent year, Polymer. Prepar. 1993, 34(1), 511-12. and Japanese Laid Open Patent HEI 8-217698 have described a process that 3- or 4-halophenol having a protected hydroxyl group, when necessary, is subjected to coupling with trimethylsilylacetylene or other monosilylacetylene in a triethylamine solvent in the presence of a palladium catalyst and thereafter subjected to removing of the silyl group and where necessary, deprotecting of the hydroxyl group to obtain desired hydroxyphenylacetylene in a considerably high yield of 60 to 80%.
