Conditions: temp:0.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 2,5,8,11,14,17,20,23,26,29,32,35-dodecaoxaheptatriacontan-37-ol (150 mg, 22.89 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) was slowly added to a slurry of NaH (48 mg, 45.78 mol, 8 equiv.) in DMF (1.4 mL) in a flame dried flask pre-cooled to 0° C. 80% propargyl bromide in toluene (36 □L, 27.47 mmol, 1.2 equiv.), cooled to 0° C., was added slowly. The ice bath was removed and the reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature for an additional 2 hours. The reaction was then re-cooled to 0° C., 0.5 mL of ice cold water was added, and the reaction was concentrated under reduced pressure. The remaining residue was redissolved in dichloromethane, then partially purified via silica gel chromatography (10% MeOH in DCM) to remove all the salts. After partial purification, 2,5,8,11,14,17,20,23,26,29,32,35,38-tridecaoxahentetracont-40-yne (s-13e) was obtained as a brown oil that was taken on to the next step without full purification. dried flask was added slowly The ice bath was removed The reaction was then re-cooled to 0° C. 0.5 mL of ice cold water was added the reaction was concentrated under reduced pressure The remaining residue was redissolved in dichloromethane partially purified via silica gel chromatography (10% MeOH in DCM) to remove all the salts After partial purification
