Chapter 6 1356.2.1 Heteroannullation <strong>of</strong> Phenyl-2-propyn-1-ol (±)-58a:variation <strong>of</strong> bases.Four different bases were tested <strong>in</strong> order to improve <strong>the</strong> chemicalyield <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> product . Only one arylpropynol was used <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> study,racemic 1-aryl-2-propyn-1-ol (±)-58a (scheme 6.4).HOH(±)-58a2-Iodophenol, CuITEA, Ar, 80°PdCl 2 [P(Ph) 3 ] 2OOH(±)-27gScheme: 6.4: Effects <strong>of</strong> different bases on <strong>the</strong> heteroannulation process <strong>of</strong> aryl propynol(±)-58a mediated by Pd catalyst.The molar ratio between <strong>the</strong> re<strong>agents</strong> was kept as documented <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>orig<strong>in</strong>al paper 2.0 : 1.0 : 0.035 : 0.13 : 2.0 correspond<strong>in</strong>g toarylpropynols : iodophenole : PdCl2[P(Ph)3]2 : CuI.

Chemical yields were calculated based on 2-iodophenol afterpurification by flash chromatography. Pyrid<strong>in</strong>e (Py) was <strong>the</strong> worst base <strong>in</strong>terms <strong>of</strong> chemical yield, difficulties <strong>in</strong> work up <strong>and</strong> purification (entries2,3; Table 6.1).
