1. Added NaH (449 mg, 11.2 mmol, 8.7 equiv.) to a dry 100 mL flask under nitrogen
2. Added KBS3 (407 mg, 1.29 mmol) by solution transfer (3 mL dry DMF, 15 mL dry THF)
3. After 5 minutes stirring, added propargyl bromide (80% in toluene, 0.5 mL, 4.67 mmol, 3.6 equiv.)
4. Left stirring from 2.15 pm

TLC at 4 pm indicated reaction was not yet complete. (20:80 ethyl acetate:pet benzine)

Mixture had gone black overnight - this seems to indicate that reaction is occurring.

TLC at 10 am indicated reaction still not complete. Using 30:70 ethyl acetate: pet benzine gives better resolution of spots.

Took off at 4 pm. Diluted with NH4Cl (25 mL) and water (55 mL) then extracted with toluene (4 x 50 mL), washed with water (3 x 125 mL) and brine (150 mL). Dried over MgSO4.

Rotovapped down organic phase.

Empty vial: 16.0488 g
Full vial: 16.6544 g
Mass: 605.6 mg (1.54 mmol)

NMR

Indicates more side product than desired product, but uncertain.

Ran a manual column - filled with silica slurry (in pet. benz.) to give about ~10 cm silica in a 2.5 cm diameter column.

Loaded sample (in pet. benz.) and added fine layer of sand. Added solvent mixture via pipette on sides of column.

Solvent system

100 mL 5:95 EtOAc:pet. benz.
100 mL 10:90 EtOAc:pet. benz.
100 mL 20:80 EtOAc:pet. benz.
50 mL 30:70 EtOAc:pet. benz.

Collected ~15 mL fractions.
