Propargyl alcohol → 3-(4-bromophenyl)prop-2-yn-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromoiodobenzene (10.0 g, 35.3 mmol) in triethylamine (Et3N, 100 mL) was added propargyl alcohol (2.7 mL, 2.57 g, 45.9 mmol), Cul (0.81 g, 4.24 mmol), and Pd(PPh3)4 (1.63 g, 1.41 mmol). The mixture was stirred overnight, then the reaction mixture was concentrated. Column chromatography (20-35% EtOAc/hexanes) provided 1-(4-bromophenyl)-1-propyne-3-ol B (6.58 g, 88%) as a yellow/orange solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) 1.77 (t, 1H), 4.48 (d, 2H), 7.29 (d, 2H), 7.45 (d, 2H).
