Source of material

A 25 mL Schlenk tube was charged with phenylpropiolic acid (1.0 mmol), p-methoxyphenol (1.2 mmol), dimethylaminopyridine (0.5 eq), dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (1.5 eq) in 10 mL of dichloromethane step by step. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 h. Upon the reaction completion (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was filtered, quenched with 5 mL of water, extracted with EtOAc (5 mL), washed with brine. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel, using Hexane/EtOAc (10:1) as the eluent, give the 4-methoxyphenyl 3-phenylpropiolate as a colorless solid. The solid was dissolved in ethylene acetate and crystals of the title compound were obtained by slow evaporation within a week.

Experimental details

Hydrogen atoms were placed in their geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms.

Comment

In recent decades, thousands of alkynyl-containing active ingredients have been isolated from traditional medicinal plants or other active organisms [3], [4]. These alkynyl-containing active ingredients exhibit abundant biological activities, such as anti-tumor [5], anti-inflammatory [6], antibacterial, anti-viral, etc [7], [8]. Acetylenic acid ester compounds as reactants in organic synthesis, in the core skeleton structure of conjugated structures has an important position [9]. Therefore, it is important to find a highly efficient and simple synthetic protokol of conjugated olefin derivatives for the supplement of active compounds [10].

There is one molecule in the asymmetric unit of the title structure (see the figure). The single crystal structure verifies that all bond lengths are in normal ranges and in accord with parameters reported in the literature [11], [12].
