Reaction Steps

To an ice-cooled solution of 1.05 g of (R)-(+)-2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrene oxide in 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran, was added dropwise a solution of Li2NiBr4, which was prepared by adding 2.19 g of nickel (II) bromide to a suspension of 1.74 g of lithium bromide in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran. After completion of addition, the solution was stirred for 15 hours at room temperature. The resulted reaction mixture was poured into a 0.05 mol phosphate buffer, and was extracted with ether. The resultant extract was dried over magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, thereby obtaining 1.02 g of (R)-(-)-2-bromo-1-(pentafluorophenyl)ethanol containing 15% of (+)-2-bromo-2-(pentafluorophenyl)ethanol.
