Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 3-phenyltoluene (1.80 mL, 10.9 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (50 mL) was added N-bromosuccinimide (2.124 g, 11.93 mmol) and the mixture heated to 70° C. AIBN (50 mg, 0.30 mmol) was added and the mixture refluxed for 30 mins. Additional AIBN was added (50 mg, 0.30 mmol) and the mixture refluxed for 16 hours. The reaction was cooled, filtered, and the solvent evaporated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed (Silica gel, 5% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford the title compound as a white solid.
