See the preparation in the Prepublication forum:
http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=18681
It's always a good idea to check prepub for the compund you're looking for or a similar one before asking here. Be aware that phenylacetylene is not a
precursor for the title compound.

It's not quite the same thing but I always thought the direct thermal conversion of allenes to nitrones was pretty cool:

I searched for formamide and didn't find much; it seems like hydroamination using simple amines is more common, although interestingly
alpha-phenylethylformamides undergo an annulation with alkynes:

why not ? won't reacting phenylacetylene with LDA or BuLi or even LiNH2 give lithium phenylacetylenide ?

as I always like to believe and say,just because it hasn't been done before doesn't make it impossible.If someone told me that you could make ketones
from alkynes using only formic acid acid, i wouldn't have believed them.But its true.

but most of them if not all ,need a catalyst.

By "title compound" I meant phenylacetylcarbinol, not lithium phenylacetylide. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
