Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3.86 g (19 mmol) of 4-bromothioanisole in 90 mL of Et2O cooled at -78° C., was added 22 mL of 1.7M solution of t-BuLi in pentane (38 mmol) dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred for 15 min at -78° C. and a solution of 2.23 g of 2-(4-Fluorophenyl)-2-cyclopenten-1-one in 10 mL of Et2O was added. After stirring for 15 min at -78° C., the reaction mixture was warmed to 0° C., and quenched with 50 mL of sat. NH4Cl. The product was extracted with 100 mL EtOAc, dried over Na2SO4, and purified by flash chromatography, eluted with 4:1 hexane/EtOAc to give 3.4 g of the desired product.
