Reaction Steps

2-Cyclooctene-1-bromomethane (0.7 g, 0.0034 mol) was added dropwise to a boiling solution of imidazole (0.24 g, 0.0035 mol) and potassium t-butoxide (0.39 g, 0.0035 mol) in dry n-butanol, under dry nitrogen. After the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred and heated under reflux for 1 h. The pure product was obtained as described in Example 4, b.p. 108°-110°/0.02 mmHg.
