Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(4-bromophenoxy)-2-methylpropanal (5.3 g) in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) was added methylmagnesium bromide (9.5 mL, 3 M diethyl ether solution) at −20° C., and the mixture was stirred for 1 hr. A saturated ammonium chloride solution was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with 1 M hydrochloric acid, saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound as a colorless solid (4.0 g, 70%).
