1-Phenyl-1-cyclopentanol → Benzene, 1-cyclopenten-1-yl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

The same experiment as in Example 3 was carried out, except for using 50 ml of THF instead of 50 ml of CPME. The resulting reaction mixture was analyzed by gas chromatography to confirm that the target 1-hydroxy-1-phenylcyclopentane and phenylcyclopentene were obtained in a yield of 85% in total.
