Chapter 5 116product result<strong>in</strong>g from 4-nitrobenzol aldehyde which led to (±)-59f <strong>in</strong>only 49 % yield.5.1.1.Desilylation <strong>of</strong> Aryl trimethylsilyl propargylic alcohols 59a-d.1-Aryl-2-propyn-3-trimethylsilyl-1-ols (±)-59a-d constitute formallyprotected acetylenes. Various desilylation methods were tried <strong>in</strong>order to obta<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> acetylenic products (±)-58a-g. No reaction occurredwhen (±)-59a was treated with 1 N HCl <strong>in</strong> THF at differenttemperatures. Better results were obta<strong>in</strong>ed when <strong>the</strong> alcohols (±)-59a-gwere treated with KF <strong>in</strong> DMF (scheme 5.3). The results are reported <strong>in</strong>table 5.2.RSiMe 3KF, DMFRHOH(±)-59a-g25-60°COH(±)-58a-gScheme 5.3: desilylation <strong>of</strong> (±)-59a-g by KF <strong>in</strong> DMF.Entry R T °C Product Yield %1 4H 60 (±) - 58a 87.12 4Me 60 (±) - 58b 47.53 4F 60 (±) - 58c 96.94 4Cl 60 (±) - 58d 93.25 4CN RT-60 (±) - 58e 06 4NO2 RT-60 (±) - 58f 07 3,4 OMe RT-60 (±) - 58g 0Table 5.2: Reaction conditions <strong>and</strong> chemical yields for <strong>the</strong> desilylation <strong>of</strong> (±)-59a-g us<strong>in</strong>gKF <strong>in</strong> DMF.The reaction worked, however, well only for three substrates: (±)-59a,c,d (entries 1,3,4), compounds with an unsubstituted aryl moiety orwith one halogen <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> para position.The presence <strong>of</strong> a methyl group on<strong>the</strong> aromatic moiety (±)-59b decreased <strong>the</strong> yield to 47.5% (entry 2).
