Potassium Carbonate → 1-(Benzyloxy)-4-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3-(4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-prop-1-ynyl)-trimethyl-silane (911 mg, 3.09 mmol) described in Manufacturing Example 29-2-1 in methanol (20 mL) was added potassium carbonate (854 mg, 6.18 mmol) at room temperature, which was stirred for 4 hours and 10 minutes at room temperature. The reaction solution was partitioned into water and ethyl acetate at room temperature. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under a reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (heptane:ethyl acetate=20:1) to obtain the title compound (618 mg, 90%).
