2-Cyclopentylphenol → HCID 23090734, compound

2-cyclopentyl phenol (3.0 g, 0.0185 mol) was dissolved in CHCl3 (100 mL) and magnetically stirred at room temperature. To this solution was added a solution of Tetrabutyl ammonium tribromide (8.92 g, 0.0185 mol) in CHCl3 (100 mL). The resulting yellow solution was allowed to stir at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction was quenched with a 5% solution of sodium thiosulfate (200 mL). The biphasic mixture was stirred for 15 min. The organics were separated and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in EtOAc (100 mL) and washed with water (2×100 mL) and brine (1×100 mL). The organics were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel) eluting with 3% EtOAc in Hexanes. The result was a yellow oil (3.70 g). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 1.39-1.73 (brm, 8H), 2.83 (m, 1H), 4.81 (s, 1H), 6.68 (d, J=7.10 Hz 1H), 7.19 (d, J=7.10 Hz, 1H), 7.26 (s, 1H).
