4-Bromo-2-ethenyl-1-fluorobenzene → 4-Bromo-2-ethyl-1-fluorobenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Bromo-1-fluoro-2-vinylbenzene (470 mg) was hydrogenated in EtOAc with 10% Pd/C (100 mg) with a hydrogen balloon for 2.0 h. The Pd/C was removed by filtration. The filtrate was condensed to give 95A (290 mg, 62% yield) as an orange oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 1.22 (t, J=6.81 Hz, 3H) 2.63 (d, J=7.03 Hz, 2H) 6.88 (t, J=8.57 Hz, 1H) 7.25 (s, 1H) 7.32 (d, J=4.39 Hz, 1H).
