Hexane → HCID 131725130, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.70 g (6.1 mmol) of 3,6-di-tert-butylfluorene in 40 ml of THF, 3.9 ml (6.4 mmol) of a hexane solution of n-butyllithium was dropwise added in a nitrogen atmosphere with ice cooling, followed by stirring at room temperature for one night. To the resulting red solution, a solution of 1.22 g (6.4 mmol) of 3-(1,1-dimethylbutyl)-6,6-dimethylfulvene in 35 ml of THF was dropwise, added in a nitrogen atmosphere with ice cooling, followed by stirring at room temperature for one night. After the reaction solution was diluted with 100 ml of ether, 50 ml of water was added. The separated organic phase was washed with water and a saturated saline solution, then dried over magnesium sulfate and filtered. From the filtrate, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to obtain a liquid. The liquid was isolated and purified by column chromatography (silica gel, developing solvent: hexane) to obtain 1.73 g (3.69 mmol) of an oily liquid (yield: 61%). The analyzed values are given below.
