Abstract
A new process for the preparation of a 3-(4'-bromobiphenyl-4-yl)tetralin-1-one known as a key intermediate for the production of rodenticides and clinical medicines is provided. The title compound is prepared from P-bromobiphenylbenzylketone in three steps, wherein one of key inventions is dehydroxylation of 3-(4'-bromobiphenyl)-3-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyric acid ethyl ester using trialkylsilane in trifluoroacetic acid. This new process offers a high yield with a facile way and is more suitable for a commercial production than the prior art methods.
