Sodium hydride → 5-(10-Bromodecyloxy)-1,8-nonadiene

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.1 g of 60% sodium hydride was suspended in 50 ml of THF, and 6.6 g of 1,8-nonadien-5-ol was dropped therein in an atmosphere of argon. 28 g of 1,10-dibromodecane was further dropped therein, and reflux was then carried out for 21 hours in an atmosphere of argon. After the generated precipitate was filtered off, the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography, to obtain 5.3 g of the compound (7). (Yield: 31%)
