Reaction Steps

The Grignard reaction of p-bromoanisole (15.0 g, 0.080 mol) and methyl cyclohexane carboxylate (Compound 26) (5.7 g, 0.040 mol) afforded the carbinol (Compound 27) which upon dehydration yielded a yellow solid. Recrystallized from absolute EtOH yielded 8.0 g (65%) of a colorless solid, mp 106°-107° C. (MIQUEL, J -F., WAHLSTAM, H., OLSSON, K. AND SUNDBECK, B. (1963), "Synthesis of unsymmetrical diphenylalkenes", Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 6, 774), 109°-110° C. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.70 (broad s, 10H, cyclohexyl), 3.70 (s, 6H, OCH3), 7.07 (dd, 8H, ArH).
