Propargyl bromide → 7-Propynyloxy-2-methyl-4'-methoxyisoflavone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-hydroxy-2-methyl-4′-methoxyisoflavone (2.82 g, 0.01 mol), K2CO3 (2.8 g, 0.02 mol), Kl (0.166 g, 0.001 mol), propargyl bromide (1.78 g, 0.015 mol) and acetone (100 mL) was refluxed 10 h and hot filtered. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was crystallized by toluene. This yields 2.24 g of a product with the following characteristics: m.p. 139-140° C.; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ: 2.29 (s, 3H), 2.6 (m, 1H), 3.85 (s, 3H), 4.75 (s, 2H), 6.93-8.17 (m, 7H).
