Procedure

By a procedure analogous to that described above, 3-methylbutyl magnesium bromide in tetrahydrofuran is reacted with 34.5 g. (0.11 moles) of 1,11-dibromoundecane and 0.2 g. of lithium copper chloride in 75 ml. of tetrahydrofuran. After 1 hour stirring at -10° C., the solution is evaporated, and the resultant oil is distilled in vacuo to yield the colorless 1-bromo-14-methylpentadecane.
