Hexane → 1-Chloro-3-(hept-1-en-6-yn-1-yl)benzene

Temperature

0 °C

An oven-dried 250 mL three-necked round-bottomed flask under a nitrogen atmosphere was charged with 3-chlorobenzylphosphonate S6 (4.74 g, 18 mmol) and THF (60 mL). The solution was cooled to 0° C. in an ice bath for 15 min, then n-BuLi (12 mL of a 1.6 M n-hexane solution, 19 mmol) was added dropwise over 10 min via syringe. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min, then aldehyde 4 (1.0 g, 10 mmol) in THF (40 mL) was added. The reaction was warmed to rt and was stirred for 3 h. The consumption of the starting material was monitored by TLC (AcOEt/n-hexane 1:9). The reaction was quenched by adding sat'd aq ammonium chloride solution (70 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with ether (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (2×50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, gravity filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The reaction residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography, eluting with AcOEt/n-hexane 0.5:9.5, to provide 1.9 g of the title compound as a colorless oil in a 93% yield.
