(Diethylamino)sulfur trifluoride → 1-Bromo-4-(1-fluorocyclobutyl)benzene

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5.66 g of 1-(4-bromophenyl)-cyclobutanol (24.92 mmol, described in example S2-A) in 70 ml DCM were added 4.23 g of (diethylamino)sulfur trifluoride (95%, 24.92 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 35 min, then sat. NaHCO3-solution was added and the resulting mixture was extracted with DCM. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give a residue which was purified by flash column chromatography (100% pentane) to give 1-bromo-4-(1-fluoro-cyclobutyl)-benzene (3.66 g, 64%) as a colourless liquid.
