Cyclohexyl bromide → 1-Cyclohexyl-4-methoxybenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Bromocyclohexane (81.8 mg, 0.5 mmol) and a THF solution (0.85 mL, 0.88 M, 0.75 mmol) of 4-methoxyphenylmagnesium bromide were used as starting materials, and reacted as in Entry 1. Conditions: The THF solution of 4-methoxyphenylmagnesium bromide was added dropwise at 25° C. over 20 minutes. 1H-NMR analysis was conducted using pyrazine (19.0 mg, 0.24 mmol) as an internal standard (yield 96%).
