This compound combines a terminal alkyne with a primary alcohol two carbons away, giving it two distinct reactive handles — the alkyne for coupling/cycloaddition chemistry and the alcohol for esterification or further functionalization.
This compound is used as a building block in pharmaceutical manufacturing, serving as a synthon for oxygen-containing heterocycles and protected amino-acid ester intermediates, and as a terminal-alkyne partner in palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions.
