Participants

Reaction Steps

A 40 ml (40 mmole) of 1.0 M solution of benzyl magnesium chloride in diethyl ether was cooled to 0° C., and thereto was added dropwise a solution of 10.2 g (32.1 mmole) of dimethylbismuthanyl bromide prepared in Preparation Example 2 in 20 ml of THF (45 minutes). The reaction mixture was further stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours qnd hexane was added. The supernatant liquid was extracted, concentrated and distilled in a vacuum, giving 3.5 g (yield 32.8%) of a yellow liquid product. b.p. 67-76° C./0.7 mmHg. 1H-NMR revealed that the product was the desired one.
