oct-1-ynylbenzene

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: The procedure was identical to Example 1, with the exception that 1-octyne (0.590 ml; 0.441 g; 4.00 mmol) was used as a substrate instead of phenylacetylene. GC analysis of the organic phase of the hydrolyzed reaction sample after 18 h at 65° C. showed the presence of 1.59 mmol (80% yield) of 1-octynylbenzene, and 0.03 mmol of benzonitrile remaining in the reaction mixture.
