Reaction Steps

Bromine (11.6g) in chloroform (40ml) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 4-chloro-α-phenoxyacetophenone (18.8g) in chloroform (1200ml) containing dibenzoyl peroxide (50 mg) under photoflood illumination. The reaction was complete after 2 hours, and the chloroform was removed under reduced pressure to give α-bromo-4-chloro-α-phenoxyacetophenone which was used without further purification.
