Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-hydroxyphenyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimide (1 g) in dimethylformamide (10 ml), there was added anhydrous potassium carbonate (0.34 g) while stirring at room temperature. After stirring for 30 minutes at about 40° C., propargyl bromide (1 g) was added thereto, and the resultant mixture was stirred for 3 hours at 50°-60° C. After being allowed to cool to room temperature, the mixture was poured into water and extracted with ether. The ether layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to obtain 0.8 g of N-[4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-(2-propynyloxy)phenyl]-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimide (Compound No. 3). M.P., 136.4° C.
