4,4,4-trifluoro-3-phenylbutan-1-ol

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

Procedure: To a stirred solution of triphenylphosphine (3.93 g) and imidazole (1.02 g) in dichloromethane (20 ml) under an argon atmosphere was added slowly iodine (3.81 g) and rac-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-phenyl-butan-1-ol (2.04 g, CAS 65948-16-5). The mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature, then dichloromethane (50 ml) was added and mixture was extracted with saturated sodium thiosulfate solution (50 ml) and hydrochloric acid (1N, 25 ml). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and evaporated. The residue was suspended in ether and filtered to remove insoluble triphenylphosphine oxide. The ether was evaporated and the residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, heptane/EtOAc=9:1) to yield a light yellow liquid, (1.99 g, 63%). mixture was extracted with saturated sodium thiosulfate solution (50 ml) and hydrochloric acid (1N, 25 ml) The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 evaporated filtered to remove insoluble triphenylphosphine oxide The ether was evaporated the residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, heptane/EtOAc=9:1) to yield a light yellow liquid, (1.99 g, 63%)
