Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 14770832, compound

Temperature

-78 °C

A solution of 27.2 g (0.1 mole) of 1,4-dibromo-2,5-difluorobenzene in 200 ml of ether was blanketed with argon and cooled to -78° C. To this mixture was added 42 ml of n-butyl lithium (2.4 M; 0.10 mole) dropwise via an addition funnel. The solution was stirred at -78° C. for 15 minutes, then allowed to warm to -45° C. To the anion was added 13 ml of 3-ethoxy-2-cyclopentenone (0.10 mole); the solution was kept at -45° for 30 minutes and was then warmed slowly to room temperature. The mixture was poured into 250 ml of 1 N hydrochloric acid, stirred for 30 minutes, and extracted with ethyl acetate; the organic phases were combined, washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated. The crude product was purified via silica gel chromatography using an 80:20 chloroform ethyl acetate mixture to give 14.2 g of the desired product; mp 129°-131° C.
