Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

39.0 g (176 mmol) 1-Bromo-4-vinyloxybenzene and 32.4 mL (441 mmol) chloroiodomethane are added to 500 mL dichloroethane and cooled to 0° C. During 1 h 200 mL (200 mmol) diethylzinc solution (c=1 mol/l in hexane) are added and stirring is continued for 2 h at 0° C. The reaction is quenched by the addition of 200 mL of a sat. aq. NH4Cl solution and extracted with TBME (2×). The organic phases are combined, washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and the solvent is removed in vacuo. The crude product is purified by column chromatography (silica gel, PE).
