Triethyl Phosphate → HCID 178455407, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

36.9 g (0.1 mol) of 4-(4-bromocyclohexyl)-2,3',4'-trifluorobiphenyl was dripped into a mixture of 2.5 g (0.11 mol) of magnesium and 300 ml of THF to obtain a Grignard's reagent. This solution was then dripped into a 500 ml THF solution of 0.5 g of triethyl phosphate, 0.1 g of copper (I) iodide and 26.3 g (0.1 mol) of trans-1-(2-bromoethyl)-4-n-butyl-4-silacyclohexane. After a conventional after treatment, 4-(trans-4-(2-(trans-4-n-butyl-4-silacyclohexyl)ethyl)cyclohexyl)-2,3',4'-trifluorobiphenyl was obtained. The silacyclohexane rings of the product were a mixture of trans isomers and cis isomers. They were separated by means of chromatography to obtain 34.3 g (yield 72.6%) of the trans isomer.
