Tetrahydrofuran → HCID 178448139, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4.1 g (20 mmols) of 4-n-propylcyclohexyl bromide was dropped in a mixture of 0.5 g of magnesium (21 mmols) and 50 ml of THF to obtain a Grignard reagent. Subsequently, the solution was dropped in 50 ml of a THF solution of 5.2 g (20 mmols) of 4-(4-fluorophenyloxymethyl)-1-chloro-1-silacyclohexane to obtain a crude product. This product was found to be a mixture of trans and cis isomers with respect to the silacyclohexane ring and the cyclohexane ring. The product was after-treated by a usual manner and isolated through column chromatography to obtain 6.1 g (yield: 87%) of the intended trans-trans isomer product.
