Propargyl bromide → HCID 59400689, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of propargyl bromide (0.043 g, 0.36 mmol) in acetone (2 ml) is added dropwise to a mixture of 9-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl)-3-oxaspiro[5.5]undecane-8,10-dione (0.10 g, 0.3 mmol) and potassium carbonate (0.05 g, 0.36 mmol) in acetone (3 ml) and the reaction is refluxed overnight. The solvent is evaporated in vacuo, and the residue is taken up in ethyl acetate and washed with 2 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The organic phase is concentrated in vacuo, and the residue is further purified by column chromatography on silica gel to give the desired compound as a colourless gum.
