Reaction Steps

Phosphorus tribromide (10.6 g., 0.039 mole) is added dropwise during 15 minutes to a solution of 4-acetoxy-5-(4-fluorophenoxy)-2-pentyn-1-ol (25.1 g., 0.10 mole) in ether (80 ml.). The resulting solution is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and then heated at reflux for 30 minutes. The solution is poured into 100 ml. of ice water.
