1-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)ethanol

Conditions: temp:0.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A solution of 5.25 g (0.033 mole) of 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzaldehyde in 100 ml of diethyl ether was cooled to -10° C., and 11.2 ml (0.033 mole) of a 2.95M solution of methylmagnesium bromide in diethyl ether was added dropwise with stirring. The reaction mixture was warmed to 0° C. and was stirred for several hours. After warming to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into an ice/water mixture. The resulting mixture was extracted with methylene chloride. The solvent was evaporated from the extract under reduced pressure, and the residue was passed through a column of silica gel, eluting first with heptane and then with ethyl acetate/heptane (1/9). The appropriate fractions were combined, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, leaving 1.46 g of 1-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)ethanol as an amber oil. The nmr and ir spectra were consistent with the proposed structure. This reaction was repeated on a larger scale to provide sufficient 1-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)ethanol for Step D. was stirred for several hours After warming to room temperature The resulting mixture was extracted with methylene chloride The solvent was evaporated from the extract under reduced pressure eluting first with heptane the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure
