Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Iododecane (133.9 mg, 0.5 mmol) and a THF solution (0.66 mL, 1.14 M, 0.75 mmol) of 2,4,6-trimethylphenylmagnesium bromide were used as starting materials, and reacted as in Entry 1. Conditions: The THF solution of 2,4,6-trimethylphenylmagnesium bromide was added dropwise at 40° C. over 3 hours. After thin-layer chromatography (hexane), the title compound was obtained as a colorless liquid (0.121 g, yield 93%).
