Chapter 6 136Table 6.1), tributylam<strong>in</strong>e (TBuA) was somewhat better (entries 4,5; Table6.1). Clearly <strong>the</strong> best base was tetramethyl guanid<strong>in</strong>e (TMG) which<strong>in</strong>creased <strong>the</strong> chemical yield by more than 35% <strong>in</strong> comparison to TEAwhich was <strong>the</strong> base used <strong>in</strong> Kundu's paper. The result was considered verysatisfactory s<strong>in</strong>ce almost all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 2-iodophenole was converted to <strong>the</strong>correspond<strong>in</strong>g aryl-benzo [b] furanyl carb<strong>in</strong>ol (±)-27g.6.2.2 Optimization <strong>of</strong> molar ratio between Phenyl-2-propyn-1-ol (±)-58a <strong>and</strong> 2-iodophenol.Fur<strong>the</strong>r optimization was achieved by decreas<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> molar ratio <strong>of</strong>1-phenyl-2-propyn-1-ole (±)-58a <strong>and</strong> iodophenol from 2:1 to 1:1 withadditional ratios <strong>of</strong> 1.5:1 <strong>and</strong> 1.1:1.
