A mixture of 1-bromo-3-isobutylbenzene (3.16 g), magnesium (1.08 g), 1,2-dibromoethane (2.78 g) and iodine (10 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) was refluxed for 1.5 hours. The mixture was cooled to 25° C., and a solution of 3-isobutylbenzaldehyde (2.40 g) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) was added at 25° C. After stirred for 1 hour at the same temperature, the mixture was poured into a mixture of ethyl acetate and 1N hydrochloric acid. The organic layer was separated, washed with water and brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate. After evaporation of the solvent, the residue was chromatographed on silica gel (200 g) eluting with 5% ethyl acetate in hexane to give bis(3-isobutylphenyl)methanol (2.90 g) as a colorless oil.
