Reaction Steps

274.4 g of 4-(trimethylsilylethinyl)-benzoic acid tert.-butyl ester and 12.5 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate in 1.5 l of absolute methanol are stirred together for 3 hours under nitrogen. The reaction mixture is then concentrated by evaporation and worked up with CH2Cl2 /H2O to yield 194 g of 4-ethinyl-benzoic acid tert.-butyl ester.
