1-cyclohexyl-2-methylbenzene

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

Procedure: Bromocyclohexane (81.7 mg, 0.5 mmol) and a THF solution (0.94 mL, 0.80 M, 0.75 mmol) of 2-methylphenylmagnesium bromide were used as starting materials, and reacted as in Entry 1. Conditions: The THF solution of 2-methylphenylmagnesium bromide was added dropwise at 40° C. over 20 minutes. 1H-NMR analysis was conducted using pyrazine (13.2 mg, 0.16 mmol) as an internal standard (yield 99%). materials, and reacted as in Entry 1
