Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 3-L round-bottom flask were added a stir bar, 1-(3-fluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)-cyclobutanol (80.17 g, 410 mmol), dry DCM (1231 mL), Et3SiH (200 mL, 1.23 mol) and TFA (93 mL, 1.2 mmol). The resultant mixture was stirred at rt for 22 h before concentrating to dryness and subjecting the residue to FCC to give 1-cyclobutyl-3-fluoro-2-methoxybenzene as a pale-yellow oil (51.90 g, 70.5%). 1HNMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.07-6.93 (m, 3H), 3.91 (s, 3H), 3.85-3.81 (m, 1H), 2.40-2.36 (m, 2H), 2.20-2.07 (m, 3H), 1.91-1.88 (m, 1H).
