A. T. Mahyari et al. · Addition of Imides to Ethyl 3-Phenyl-2-propynoate in the Presence of Triphenylphosphine

dichloromethane (5 mL) was added dropwise a mixture of
ethyl 3-phenyl-2-propynoate (0.17 mL, 1 mmol) in dichloro-
◦
methane (2 mL) at −10 C over 15 min. The mixture was
allowed to warm up to r. t. and stirred for 48 h at r. t. The
solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the viscous
residue was purified by flash column chromatography (silica
gel; petroleum ether-ethyl acetate). The solvent was removed
under reduced pressure to leave the product as a light yellow
oil. Yield: 0.286 g (97 %). – IR (neat): ν = 2984, 1723, 1653,

Experimental Section
Melting points were measured on an Electrothermal 9100
apparatus and are uncorrected. Elemental analyses were per-
formed using a Heraeus CHN-O-Rapid analyzer. IR spectra
1
were recorded on a Shimadzu IR-460 spectrometer. H and
13C NMR spectra were measured with a Bruker Spectrospin
spectrometer at 250 and 62.5 MHz, respectively.
