Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-trimethylsilyl-N-benzylidene-3-aminoprop-1-yne (7.609 g.; 34.4 mmol) in 106 ml. of tetrahydrofuran maintained at -78° under N2 was added dropwise 19.5 ml. of 1.63 N n-butyl lithium. To the stirred deep red solution was then added dropwise 11.43 g. (35.4 mmol) of 3,4-diphenylmethylenedioxybenzyl chloride in 35 ml. of tetrahydrofuran. After an additional 30 minutes at -78° water (25 ml.) was added dropwise, the mixture was warmed to 20°, 10% aqueous NH4Cl solution was added and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was washed twice with benzene, the combined organic phases were washed twice with cold 10% aqueous NH4Cl, once with saturated NaCl solution, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to dryness to give 3-(3,4-diphenylmethylenedioxybenzyl)-1-trimethylsilyl-N-benzylidene-3-aminoprop-1-yne as a viscous orange oil (18,86 g).
