1-Ethynyl-4-methoxybenzene → 4-Methoxy-4'-(1-propynyl)tolan

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Methoxyphenyl acetylene (2.65 g, 0.02 mol) and 4-(1-propynyl)iodobenzene (5.0 g, 0.02 mol) were dissolved in diethylamine (20 ml), and then added copper iodide (0.06 g) and dichlorobistriphenylphosphinepalladium dichloride (0.21 g) were added. The resulting mixture was subjected to reaction and purification operations in the same manners as in Example 1, to obtain the objective 4-methoxy-4'-(1-propynyl)tolan (No. 297) (1.35 g).
