Tetrahydrofuran → 4-Butyl-4'-fluorobiphenyl

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using a THF solution of 4-fluorophenylmagnesium bromide (1.46 mL, 1.03 M, 1.5 mmol), 4-butylchlorobenzene (168.7 mg, 1.0 mmol), FeF3.3H2O (6.68 mg, 0.04 mmol) and 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolinium chloride (51.2 mg, 0.12 mmol) as starting materials, the reaction was performed at a scale of 1.0 mmol at 60° C. for 24 hours in the same manner as in Example 2. After performing silica gel column chromatography (pentane), the above compound was obtained as a white solid (0.199 g, yield=87%, purity=>97% (GC analysis)).
