Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 13.6 g (0.07 mol) of 2-phenyl 4-methoxymethyl 1,3-dioxolane (S) (Austr. J. Chem. 761, 29. 1976) in 40 ml of dichloroethane, are gradually added 12.5 g (0.07 mol) of N-bromosuccinimide while keeping temperature at 25° C. After 1 h of stirring, the reaction medium is poured on water. The organic phase is washed with a solution of sodium thiosulphate, and then with water, dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated. The product is obtained with a 93% yield, after chromatography (Silica, Heptane: 60 Ethyl acetate: 40).
