3-Butyn-1-OL → HCID 67402660, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 2-bromo-3-methoxybenzoate (0.4 g, 1.63 mmol), Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (0.057 g, 0.082 mmol), copper (I) iodide (0.031 g, 0.16 mmol) and 3-butyn-1-ol (0.173 ml, 2.28 mmol) were stirred in trietylamine (5 ml) at 80° C. for 20 h. The solvent was concentrated under vacuum, and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate (15 ml) and water (5 ml). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using hexanes:ethyl acetate 2:1 as eluent to afford methyl 2-(4-hydroxybut-1-yn-1-yl)-3-(methyloxy)benzoate (0.056 g; 15% yield). MS (EI) for C13H14O4: 235 (MH+).
