Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of magnesium (198 mg, 8.13 mmol) and a catalytic amount of iodine was added dropwise under argon atmosphere a solution of 1-bromo-4-isopropylbenzene (1.62 g, 8.13 mmol) in THF (5 mL) under argon atmosphere at room temperature, and the reaction solution was heated until the color of iodine disappeared. To the reaction solution was added dropwise at room temperature a solution of N-(7-formyl-2,2,4,6-tetramethyl-2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-5-yl)-3,3-dimethylbutanamide obtained in Example 340 (860 mg, 2.71 mmol) in THF (5 mL) and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. Water was added to the reaction solution and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and then concentrated under reduced pressure to synthesize 1.15 g (yield: 97%) of the title compound. Amorphous powder.
