Hexane → HCID 178506713, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

18.35 g (0.081 mol) of 4-pentylbromobenzene was dissolved in 30 ml of benzene and the solution was stirred at room temperature in a stream of nitrogen. To the resulting solution was added drop-wise 50 ml (0.081 mol) of hexane solution including 15% butyllithium for 30 minutes and the solution was stirred for 2 hours. Then the produced precipitate gathered by the filtration in a stream of nitrogen was dried under reduced pressure to yield 9.2 g of 4-pentylphenyllithium.
