((Prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)methyl)benzene

Propargyl benzyl ether is an organic compound with the formula CHCH=C(CH)OCH. It is a colorless liquid that has been used as a synthetic intermediate in organic synthesis. Propargyl benzyl ether has been shown to induce apoptotic cell death, which may be due to its ability to bind and inhibit the activity of pyrazole-3-carboxamide ribonucleotide transformylase, an enzyme involved in purine metabolism. This compound also induces apoptosis through the activation of caspases. The sample is pretreated before analysis by activating the cells with a solution of HCl and KOH before adding propargyl benzyl ether. Analysis is then conducted using analytical chemistry techniques such as gas chromatography or mass spectrometry. The chemical synthesis can be accomplished by reacting a β-unsaturated ketone with an acid catalyst such as HCl or acetic acid in the presence of a chelate ligand such as pyridine hydro
