Water → 1-(3-Fluorophenyl)-4-methyl-2-pentanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

97 mg of 3-fluorobenzeneacetaldehyde and 0.386 mL of isobutyl magnesium bromide (2 M/diethyl ether solution) were dissolved in of 0.2 mL of THF, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. After completion of the reaction, water was added to the reaction liquid, followed by extraction with chloroform, and the organic layer was then washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was purified using PLC (ethyl acetate:hexane=1:2) to obtain 102 mg (yield 74%) of a title compound as a pale yellow oily substance.
