Procedure
Sequential reaction of a Wacker-Tsuji oxidation followed by Grignard reduction. A PDMS thimble containing PdCl2 (0.100 g, 0.564 mmol) and CuCl (0.564 g, 5.64 mmol) was placed in a 2-necked Schlenk flask with a stir bar. DMF (3.96 mL) and H2O (0.56 mL) were added to the inside of the PDMS thimble and the flask was capped with a rubber septum. A balloon filled with O2 was affixed to the septum and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. p-Methylstyrene (0.742 mL, 5.64 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture and allowed to stir under an O2 atmosphere for 24 hours. The PDMS thimble was swelled with hexanes (30 mL) for 0.5 hours with a stir bar added to the exterior of the PDMS thimble. Phenylmagnesium bromide (3M in Et2O, 18.8 mL, 56.4 mmol) was added to the exterior of the thimble and stirred under N2 for 12 h. The exterior solvent was removed and the PDMS thimble was swelled with Et2O (4×50 mL). The combined solvents were transferred to a separatory funnel and 3N HCl (200 mL) was added. 3N HCl (200 mL) was used two more times to extract from the organic layer then the organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and filtered. The organic solvents were concentrated in vacuo. 1-Phenyl-1-p-tolyl-ethanol (0.737 g, 62% yield) was isolated by column chromatography using hexanes/EtOAc (95/5). NMR spectra agree with those reported in the literature. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3, δ): 7.33 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 7.17 (m, 5H), 7.03 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 2.62 (s, 1H), 2.25 (s, 3H), 1.81, (s, 3H). 13C NMR (75.48 MHz; CDCl3, δ): 148.1, 145.0, 136.2, 128.6, 127.9, 126.6, 125.7, 125.6, 75.8, 30.6, 20.8.
