Participants

Reaction Steps

In diethylether (200 mL), 10-phenyl-1-decanol (10 g) was dissolved, phosphorus tribromide (4.0 mL) was carefully added thereto, at 0° C., followed by stirring at room temperature for 6 hours. Water was added carefully to the reaction solution, followed by extraction with tert-buthylmethylether. The organic layer was washed with water, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=9:1) to obtain the title compound (7.0 g) having the following physical property values.
