反応手順

Bromine chloride (Dow, 1.12 g, 9.7 millimMoles) is condensed in a tube using Dry ice cooling, then it is diluted with 20 ml of liquid sulfur dioxide and the resultant solution is cooled to -72° C. Isobutylbenzene (1.57 ml, 10.0 milliMoles) is added, and the resultant mixture is stirred at -70° for 65 minutes before quenched with 1.2 grams (10.9 milliMoles) of resorcinol. Workup and analysis as above gives 8% isobutylbenzene, 6% ortho-, and 83% para-bromoiso-butylbenzene. This result indicates that the bromination with bromine chloride is faster than that with molecular bromine, and the extent of ortho-bromination is somewhat higher.
