Boron trifluoride etherate → HCID 46205792, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Then, Et3SiH (6.7 mL, 0.042 mol) and BF3.Et2O (2.7 mL, 0.021 mol) were added sequentially to a chloroform (90 mL) solution of [4-(benzyloxy)-3-bromophenyl](4-ethoxyphenyl)methanol (8.7 g, 0.021 mol) at −15° C. After stirred for one hour, the reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature. After the reaction mixture was added with a saturated sodium carbonate aqueous solution and extracted with chloroform, the organic layer was washed with brine and dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After the desiccant was filtered off, the residue obtained by evaporating the solvent under reduced pressure was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=10:1) to obtain a colorless oily title compound (8.8 g, quant).
