Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 68513620, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-methyl-5-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]thiophene-3-carbaldehyde (2.33 g) synthesized above in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) was added dropwise 1.0M cyclohexylmagnesium bromide-tetrahydrofuran solution (12.9 mL) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred for 1 hr. 1N Hydrochloric acid was added to quench the reaction, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (25% ethyl acetate/hexane), and then purified by NH-silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (1.98 g, 65%) as a white solid.
