Specifically, 4.0 g of 4-trimethylsilyl ethynyl benzaldehyde was dissolved in 20 mL of methanol, the solution was stirred for 30 minutes under nitrogen gas, 0.19 g of sodium carbonate was added, and the product was stirred for another 3 hours at room temperature. The solvent was removed at a reduced pressure, the residue was washed with a 5% aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and extracted with dichloromethane, anhydrous sodium sulfate was added, and the product was dried. The dried product was filtered off and the solvent was removed at a reduced pressure. The product was dried in a vacuum, yielding the target compound 4-ethynyl benzaldehyde with an aldehyde odor as white crystals with the yield of 99%. the product was stirred for another 3 hours at room temperature The solvent was removed at a reduced pressure the residue was washed with a 5% aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate extracted with dichloromethane, anhydrous sodium sulfate was added the product was dried The dried product was filtered off the solvent was removed at a reduced pressure The product was dried in a vacuum

Procedure: Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.22 g, 5.76 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-ethynylbenzaldehyde (0.50 g, 3.84 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (18.75 mL) at rt. Diethylamine (0.61 mL, 5.76 mmol) and acetic acid (0.12 mL, 1.92 mmol) were then added under N2 atmosphere to the mixture at rt and the reaction was stirred for 18 h. The reaction was quenched with sat. sodium bicarbonate solution (10 mL) and the mixture was stirred for 15 min. Dichloromethane (18.75 mL) was then added and the layers were separated.
