1-Bromopropane → HCID 178460930, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.5 g (20 mmol) of n-propyl bromide was dripped into a mixture of 0.5 g (21 mmol) of magnesium and 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran (hereafter abbreviated as "THF") to obtain a Grignard's reagent. This solution was then dripped into a 50 ml THF solution of 6.7 g (20 mmol) of 4-[2-(trans-4-chloro-4-silacyclohexyl)ethyl]-4'-fluorobiphenyl to obtain 4-[2-(trans-4-n-propyl-4-silacyclohexyl) ethyl]-4'-fluorobiphenyl. The silacyclohexane rings of this product were a mixture of trans isomers and cis isomers. After a conventional after treatment, they were separated by means of chromatography to obtain 6.1 g of the trans isomers (yield 90%).
