Tetrahydrofuran → HCID 10683073, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Bromotetradecane (2.05 g, 8.17 mmol) in THF (4 mL) was added dropwise and the resulting solution was warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction was quenched with a saturated solution of NH4Cl (5 mL). The organic layer was removed and the aqueous layer extracted with ether (3×5 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with a saturated solution of NaHCO3 (1×5 mL), brine (1×5 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude residue was passed through a small silica gel plug and recrystallized in methanol to afford the 2-(tetradecyl)furan, compound (20) (1.50 g, 77% yield).
