Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 3-(p-methoxyphenyl)-1-propanol (16.6 g; 0.1 mol) in 250 mL of tolune, cooled to 0° C., was added dropwise 26 mL of phosphorus tribromide (0.27 mol). Following completion of the addition the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, then refluxed for an additional hour. The reaction was cooled and poured onto ice, the layers were separated, and the organic phase washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate (3×) and brine (3×). The crude material obtained upon drying and evaporation of the solvent was chromatographed, eluting with 10%, EtOAc/hexane, to obtain 14 g (61%) of 3-(p-methoxyphenyl)-1-propylbromide.
