Synthesis

4-Bromo-1-butanol (15.3g,0.1mol) was dissolved in 100ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran, anhydrous tetrahydrofuran solution of allylmagnesium chloride (0.25mol,250ml,1M) and lithium tetrachlorocopperate (10mmol,0.2mol/L,50ml) were added dropwise at 0??, the reaction was continued for 15 hours, and then the reaction was stopped by addition of saturated ammonium chloride. After the reaction was continued for 15 hours, the reaction was aborted by adding appropriate amount of saturated ammonium chloride solution, the tetrahydrofuran was evaporated, and ethyl acetate was added to extract three times, the organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated to obtain the crude product, and the decompression distillation yielded 6-hepten-1-ol (4) 9.8 g, with the yield of 86%.
