Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-fluorochroman-4-one (21.0 g, 126 mmol) in acetic acid (105 ml) is added bromine (6.5 ml, 126 mmol) at such a rate as to not raise the temperature above 25° C. After the addition is complete, the reaction is allowed to stir for 2 hours before pouring into 1 liter of ice. The resulting mixture is stirred overnight. The precipitate which formed is filtered and placed in drying oven to produce 21 g of 3-bromo-6-fluorochroman-4-one.
