Reaction Steps

To vinyl magnesium bromide (550 ml of a 1.0M solution) was added 3-phenylpropionaldehyde (36.68 g, 0.273 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (300 ml) under argon at 0°. This mixture was stirred for one hour at room temperature, quenched with aqueous ammonium chloride and ice, and extracted into ethyl ether. The organic portion was washed with 5% sodium bicarbonate, water, saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give the desired alcohol which was carried on without further purification.
