TCI Practical Example: The Addition Reaction to Octafluorocyclopentene
We are proud to present the addition reaction using octafluorocyclopentene as a substrate and phenyllithium.
Used Chemicals
- Octafluorocyclopentene [O0292]
- Butyllithium (ca. 15% in Hexane, ca. 1.6mol/L)
- Bromobenzene [B0439]
- THF
Procedure
A Solution of bromobenzene (488 mg, 3.1 mmol) in anhydrous THF (10 mL) under nitrogen was cooled to -78 °C. Then butyllithium (ca. 1.6mol/L in hexane, 1.9 mL, 3.1 mmol) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 30 minutes. To this, octafluorocyclopentene (300 mg, 1.4 mmol) was added and stirred at -78 °C for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with diethyl ether. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography (on silica gel, hexane) to give 1 as a white solid (414 mg, 89% yield).
Experimenter's Comments
The reaction mixture was monitored by TLC (hexane, Rf = 0.45).
