Upon complete addition, the mixture is stirred at it for 15 min before it is poured onto water/ice and neutralized with aq. HCl. The ether phase is separated and the aq. phase is extracted two more times with diethyl ether (2×100 mL). The organic extracts are washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. The crude product is purified by CC on silica gel eluting with heptane containing 20-30% of DCM to give 1-(5,5-dimethyl-3-trifluoromethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzo[c]thiophen-1-yl)-ethanone (9.1 g) as a yellow oil; LC-MS: tR=1.11 min, [M+1+CH3CN]=318.34; 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 3.04 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 2.57 (d, J=1.2 Hz, 2H), 2.53 (s, 3H), 1.58 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 0.99 (s, 6H).
