Participants

Reaction Steps

Boronitribromide (12 mL, 1 N in dichloromethane) was added to a cooled mixture of 3,5-dibromo-4-(4-nitrophenoxy)anisole (2.0 g) in dichloromethane (50 mL) and left for 16 hours at room temperature. Hydrochloric acid (2 N) was added and the reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane, washed with water and concentrated. Quantitative yield of 3,5-dibromo-4-(4-nitrophenoxy) phenol was obtained.
