Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 0° C. solution of 110 g. (0.50 mole) of 2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methyloctane in 200 ml. of carbon tetrachloride was added dropwise a solution of 80 g. (0.50 mole) of bromine in 90 ml. of carbon tetrachloride (reaction temperature ≤30° C. with cooling). The reaction mixture was stirred an additional 15 minutes and was then evaporated to yield 150 g.
