Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 11.26 g of (R)-(-)-2-bromo-1-(pentafluorophenyl)ethanol containing 20% of 2-bromo-2-(pentafluorophenyl)ethanol obtained in Example 7 in 50 ml of hexane, was added 11.4 ml of tributyltin hydride at room temperature. After stirring for eight hours at 60° C., the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, purified by silica gel column chromatography and distilled under reduced pressure to give 4.0 g of (S)-(-)-1-(pentafluorophenyl)ethanol having the following physical properties.
