Procedure

The title compound was synthesized in analogy to 1-(4-bromo-phenyl)-cyclobutanol (described in example S2-A) using 3 g of 1,4-dibromobenzene (12.7 mmol), 7.95 ml of a 1.6 molar solution of n-BuLi in hexane (12.7 mmol) and 1.24 ml of cyclopentanone (14.0 mmol). The isolated residue was purified by flash column chromatography (1:4 diethyl ether/pentane) to give 1.2 g of 1-(4-bromo-phenyl)-cyclopentanol (39%) as a colourless liquid.

Workup

customThe isolated residue was purified by flash column chromatography (1:4 diethyl ether/pentane)
