Corey-Fuchs Alkyne Synthesis
Typical Procedure:
Carbon tetrabromide (34.67 g, 104.5 mmol) and anhydrous CH2Cl2 (175 mL) are added to a 500 mL round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and septum under N2 atmosphere. The reaction flask is cooled to 0 ℃ with an ice bath for 10 min. Triphenylphosphine (54.84 g, 209.1 mmol) is added in portions over 5 min, and the dark red solution is stirred at 0 ℃ for 30 min. 3,4-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde (17.37 g, 104.5 mmol) is added and the mixture is stirred at 0 ℃ for 1 h. A 1 : 1 mixture of H2O : brine is added and the layers are separated. The aqueous layer is extracted with a 1 : 1 mixture of hexanes : CH2Cl2, and the combined organic layers are dried, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material is chromatographed on SiO2 (0-15% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford the dibromide 1 (29.37 g, Y. 88%) as a yellow oil.
Then, 1 (4.41 g, 13.79 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and THF (45 mL) are added to a 250 mL round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and septum, and the reaction flask is cooled to -78 ℃ under N2 atmosphere. 2.5M n-BuLi solution in hexane (11.6 mL) is added slowly via syringe and the reaction solution is stirred at -78 ℃ for 45 min and then at 0 ℃ for 45 min. The flask is recooled to -78 ℃, and freshly distilled methyl chloroformate (1.1 mL, 1.3 mmol, 1.0 equiv) is added slowly via syringe. The mixture is stirred at -78 ℃ for 10 min, then 0 ℃ for 1 h. Saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution is added, and the layers are separated. The aqueous layer is extracted with Et2O, and the combined organic layers are dried, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is chromatographed (SiO2, 2-20% EtOAc / hexanes) to afford the desired alkyne 2 (2.83 g, Y. 93%) as a white solid.

Typical Procedure:
To a stirred solution of the hydroxy carboxylic acid 1 (125 mg, 0.422 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (15 mL) is added triphenylphosphine (125 mg, 0.48 mmol) followed by 2,2’-dipyridyl disulfide (105 mg, 0.48 mmol) and the mixture is stirred until TLC (ethyl acetate : hexane = 2 : 3) shows complete loss of starting material (usually 0.5 h – 2 h). The mixture is concentrated in vacuo and dissolved in dry toluene (150 mL). To the solution is added 0.006M AgBF4 solution in toluene (1.2 mL) and the mixture is heated under reflux for 12 h. The mixture is cooled and solvents removed in vacuo. The residue is purified by flash column chromatography (acetone : CH2Cl2 = 0.5 : 99.5) to afford the desired lactone 2 (95 mg, Y. 81%).
