Novel One-Pot Synthetic Method for Propargyl Alcohol Derivatives from Allyl Alcohol Derivatives

摘要

An efficient one-pot procedure for the synthesis of propargyl alcohol derivatives from allyl alcohol derivatives has been developed. The key to this transformation from a C-C double bond to a C-C triple bond is that hydrogen bromide elimination from 1,2-dibromoalkanes that contain a neighboring oxygen functional group is promoted by the inductive electron-withdrawing effect of the oxygen functional group. In the one-pot reaction, tetrabutylammonium hydroxide was the best base, and the addition of molecular sieves 13X also promoted the reaction.
