Abstract

The Grignard reagent of 2-(2-bromoethyl)-1,3-dioxolane 2 (Scheme 2) is prepared at 20−28 °C to avoid decomposition. 8 If the corresponding dioxane is used, the organomagnesium species can be formed in refluxing THF. During scale-up it is convenient to generate the Grignard with 1 equiv of magnesium, eliminating the need for filtration of the Grignard 2. The coupling reaction between the Grignard 2 and 4-benzyloxybenzyl chloride is catalyzed by 0.3−0.5 mol % Li ...
