Procedure: A mixture of 10 g (0.08 moles) of 4-hydroxy-1-octyne [ L. Crombie and A. G. Jacklin, J. Chem. Soc., 1632 (1957), also Example 93] and 30.75 g (0.09 moles) of triphenylmethyl bromide in 85 ml of dry pyridine is heated on the steam bath for 2 hours. The cooled mixture is treated with water and extracted with ether. The extract is washed successively with ice cold 2% hydrochloric acid, saturated sodium chloride solution, dried with magnesium sulfate, and taken to dryness. Column chromatography of the residue on Florisil affords an oil; λ max 3.01, 4.72 (acetylenic hydrogen), 6.28, 9.65 and 14.25μ (triphenylmethoxy group). extracted with ether The extract is washed successively with ice cold 2% hydrochloric acid, saturated sodium chloride solution dried with magnesium sulfate Column chromatography of the residue on Florisil affords an oil

Procedure: To a solution of 1H-imidazole-4-acetic acid methyl ester hydrochloride (24.85 g, 0.141 mol) in dimethyl formamide (DMF) (115 ml) was added triethylamine (57.2 ml, 0.412 mol) and triphenylmethyl bromide(55.3 g, 0.171 mol) and the suspension was stirred for 24 hr. After this time, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (EtOAc) (1 l) and water (350 ml). The organic phase was washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 (350 ml), dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, 0-100% ethyl acetate in hexanes; gradient elution) to provide the title compound as a white solid. The organic phase was washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 (350 ml) dried (Na2SO4) evaporated in vacuo The residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, 0-100% ethyl acetate in hexanes; gradient elution)
