Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl magnesium bromide in ether (50 mL), prepared from Mg (572 mg, 23.56 mmol) and MeI (3.34 g, 23.56 mmol), was added 4(3-methylphenoxy)-2-butanone (2.1 g, 11.78 mmol) in 10 mL ether. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, after which it was quenched with water and dilute Hydrochloric acid. The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered through a silica plug to give a colorless syrup 1.91 g (83%) mass spectral analysis using APCI+ve 177 (M+—OH).
