Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 4-iodophenol (0.5 g; 2.27 mmol) and 60% NaH (0.16 g, 2.3 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (5 ml) 2-(2-bromoethyl)-6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]heptane (0.5 g, 2.2 mmol) was added the and mixture was stirred for 3 h at room temperature. After addition of more of 2-(2-bromoethyl)-6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]heptane (0.2 g) the mixture was stirred for additional 2 h, quenched with NH4Cl solution and diluted to 20 ml with EtOAc. The organic layer was separated, dried over MgSO4 and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness and the residue was purified by FCC (SiO2, hexane/EtOAc) to give the title compound (0.61 g, 73%), as a colourless paste. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) 7.51 (d, 2H, J=8.91 Hz); 6.64 (d, 2H, J=8.88 Hz); 3.88 (t, 2H, J=3.21 Hz); 2.34-1.84 (m, 10H); 1.17 (s, 3H); 1.01 (s, 3H).
