Reaction Steps

Thiophene-3-yl cyclohexene (72.3 mg, 0.44 mmol), and phenol (82.8 mg, 0.88 mmol) was mixed and gently heated until uniform and BF3*H3PO4 (4 uL, 0.044 mmol) was added. The mixture was heated at 70° C. overnight and the dark residue was diluted with EtOAc, washed with sat. NaHCO3, dried and concentrated. Column chromatography (silica, 0-20% EtOAc) gave a mixture of isomers and the desired product could be isolated by preparative TLC (DCM eluent). Yield: 3.7 mg, off-white/pale yellow solid. GC-MS: M+=258.
