Procedure
To a solution of 4-(3-dimethylaminopropoxy)benzaldehyde (0.83 g, 4 mmol) (Aldrich) in dry tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) under argon at room temperature was added ethynylmagnesium chloride (5 mmmol, 10 mL, 0.5M solution in tetrahydrofuran) (Aldrich) dropwise. The resulting solution was stirred for 1.5 h at which time 100 mL water was added, and the THF was removed in vacuo. The product was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL) and the combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give clean 3-[4-(3-dimethylaminopropoxy)-phenyl]-3-hydroxy-1-propyne which was used directly, without further purification. (Yield 831 mg, 89%)
