A mixture of PhMgBr (72 mL of 0.93-M THF solution, 67 mmol) and TMEDA (7.78 g, 67 mmol) was added to a mixture of bromocycloheptane (8.85 g, 50 mmol), FeCl3 (25 mL of 0.1-M THF solution, 5 mol %) at 0° C. in such a rate as keeping the reaction mixture in its pale yellow solution (1.36 mL/min. in the case of this run), using an injection pump. After completion of the addition of PhMgBr/TMEDA, the reaction mixture was stirred for 10 minutes at this temperature. The reaction mixture was treated with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution in a conventional manner and then distilled to give cycloheptylbenzene as a colorless oil (8.18 g, but 0.37 g of biphenyl was contained; isolated yield: 90%).
