Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 300 mL oven dried 3 necked, round bottomed flask with a stirring bar, argon inlet, addition funnel and a reflux condenser was added magnesium (turnings, 3.03 g, 125 mmol) and dry THF (75 mL). To this well stirred mixture was added 4-bromo-1-butene (12.0 mL, 118.21 mmol) at such a rate as to maintain a gentle reflux. When the addition was complete, the mixture was aged 30 min then cooled to 0° C. in an ice bath. To this well stirred solution was added a solution of 1-(2-amino-5-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanone (5.00 g, 22.36 mmol) in THF (35 mL), dropwise over 30 min. The cooling bath was allowed to expire and the mixture was stirred 20 h at ambient temperature. The reaction was diluted with EtOAc and 10% aqueous citric acid. This mixture was stirred for 4 h. The layers were separated and the organic phase was washed with aqueous NaHCO3 and brine. Drying (MgSO4), filtration, removal of the solvent in vacuo, and chromatography on 300 g of silica gel using 15% EtOAc in hexane as eluantas eluant gave 4.80 g of (+/-) 2-(2-amino-5-chlorophenyl)-1,1,1-trifluoro-5-hexen-2-ol as a yellow solid.
