Sodium hydride → 6'-bromo-4-methoxyspiro[cyclohexane-1,2'-inden]-1'(3'H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-bromo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one (1.037 g, 4.94 mmol) and 1,5-dibromo-3-methoxypentane (1.2 g, 4.94 mmol) in THF (16 mL) was added NaH (237.12 mg, 60%, 9.88 mmol) at room temperature. The mixture was refluxes for 3 h. The mixture was quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried and concentrated to give the residue, which was purified by column chromatography to give 6′-bromo-4-methoxyspiro[cyclohexane-1,2′-inden]-1′(3′H)-one (60 mg, 4%).
