Iodoethane → 1-Bromo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl ethyl ether

Participants

Reaction Steps

Following the general procedure of Preparation 1 Step 2 and making non-critical variations but substituting 3-bromo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-ol with 1-bromo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-ol (900 mg, 3.96 mmol) and substituting iodomethane with iodoethane gave 980 mg of a crude oil. The crude was purified by Biotage MPLC (120 g column, 3% ethyl acetate in heptane) to give 657 mg (66%) of 1-bromo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl ethyl ether as a white solid.
