Bromine → HCID 53870913, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.0 Gram (4.8 millimoles) of tricyclo [4.3.1.12,5 ] undecane is added to 2 ml (38.7 millimoles) of liquid bromine and the entirety is stirred at room temperature for 17 hours. The reaction mixture is added slowly to a cooled, saturated solution of sodium hydrogensulfite under stirring to decompose excess bromine. The aqueous solution is subjected to two extractions each with 20 ml of carbon tetrachloride and the combined extracts are dried with magnesium sulfate. Carbon tetrachloride is distilled out and the residue (1.9 g) is distilled under reduced pressure to collect a fraction boiling at 96°-8° C./2mmHg. Colorless crystals having a melting point of 57.5°-58.5° C. are thus obtained.
