Propargyl alcohol → 3-(3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl)prop-2-yn-1-ol

Temperature

55 °C

To a degassed solution of 1-bromo-3-trifluoromethylbenzene (20.0 g, 88.8 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (160 ml) were in the following order added: copper(I) iodide (506 mg, 2.66 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (3.06 g, 26.6 mmol), and 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (16.22 g, 106.6 mmol). The resulting mixture was degassed one more time, cooled in an ice bath and a solution of propargyl alcohol (5.94 g, 106.6 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was added over period of 20 min. The reaction mixture was slowly heated up to 55° C. and then stirred at this temperature for 16 h. The mixture was diluted with diethyl ether (400 mL), washed with water (100 mL), 5% hydrochloric acid (100 mL) and saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate (80 mL). The organic solution was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel Fluka 60, hexanes/ethyl acetate 85:15) affording 3-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)prop-2-yn-1-ol.
