Participants

Reaction Steps

Heat 58.2 g of homoveratric acid tert.-butyl ester and 43.3 g of N-bromosuccinimide under reflux for 2 hours in 1.3 liters of carbon tetrachloride under irradiation with a 500-watt immersion lamp. After cooling, filter out the succinimide and concentrate the filtrate. Dissolve the resulting concentrate in 250 ml of diethyl ether and extract the produced solution by shaking it with water. Free the ether solution from the solvent under a vacuum to obtain 50 g (66% of theory) of the title compound as a non-distillable oil.
