Hexane → HCID 86665739, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-ethoxy-2-nitrobenzaldehyde (519 mg) and triphenylphosphine (2.09 g) in dichloromethane (13 mL) was added a solution of carbon tetrabromide (1.32 g) in dichloromethane in three minutes under cooling with ice, and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. Hexane (20 mL) was added to the reaction mixture, and this resulting mixture was stirred for 10 minutes and then filtered through silica gel. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluting solvent: ethyl acetate-hexane) to obtain the title compound (712 mg).
