Participants

Reaction Steps

0.44 g. of 1-hydroxy-3-butanone in 40 ml. of ether is added dropwise at 20°, with stirring, to a Grignard solution prepared from 2.33 g. of 4-bromobiphenyl and 0.24 g. of magnesium in 100 ml. of ether. The mixture is stirred for a further two hours, the resulting alcoholate is decomposed by means of dilute sulfuric acid, and standard working up gives 3-p-biphenylyl-1,3-butane-diol, m.p. 115°-117°.
