Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of propargyl bromide in toluene (80%, 68.7 mmol, 7.40 mL) is added to a solution of 3-hydroxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (48.6 mmol) in DMF (45 mL). K2CO3 is added and the mixture is stirred at RT for 4 h. Water and ether are added, the layers are separated and the organic layer is washed with aq. NaOH solution (5%) and brine. The solvents are removed in vacuo to give the desired ester as a pale yellow solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3): δ=2.56 (s, 1H); 3.94 (s, 3H); 4.76 (s, 2H); 7.20 (d, J=8.04 Hz, 1H); 7.39 (t, J=8.16 Hz, 1H); 7.66 (bs, 1H); 7.71 (d, J=7.78 Hz, 1H).
