Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

6.1 g of 2-thiopheneethanol was cooled to 0° C., and to this, a suspension formed by adding 2.8 g of sodium hydride (60% in oil) to 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise. The solution was stirred at 0° C. for 20 minutes under a nitrogen atmosphere, and to this, 8.2 g of 1-(2-bromo-ethoxy)-butane was added dropwise. Thereafter, the solution was heated to 90° C. and stirred for 9 hours. 100 ml of water and 100 ml of hexane were added to the reaction solution to separate the organic layer. The organic layer was washed with 300 ml of water and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The resulting solution was concentrated by a rotary evaporator and purified by a column chromatography (filler: silica gel, eluent: hexane/dichloromethane) to obtain 3.5 g of 2-[2-(2-butoxy-ethoxy)ethyl]-thiophene.
