n-Butyl cyclopentadiene → HCID 178506708, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Being cooled in an ice-water bath, a solution 36.1 ml of butyl lithium(0.090 mol) in 2.5M hexane was slowly dripped to a solution of 11.0 g(0.090 mol) of butyl-cyclopentadiene in 100 ml THF with stirring. After the dripping was finished, the resultant mixture was continuously stirred for 1 hour, a white muddy solution of butyl-cyclopentadienyl lithium was then obtained.
