Acetaldehyde → HCID 18929411, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 65.2 ml of n-butyllithium (1.61M in hexane) and 100 ml of anhydrous ether was added dropwise 29.3 g of 4-bromo-3,5-dichlorobenzotrifluoride (3) in 30 ml of anhydrous ether at -78° C., followed by stirring for 20 minutes. Subsequently, 6.2 ml of acetaldehyde in 50 ml of anhydrous ether was added dropwise to the mixture at the same temperature, followed by stirring at 0° C. Ice waster was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with ether, drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentration under reduced pressure to give 23.5 g of the desired product in the form of a colorless oil (crude yield 90.7% ).
