1,3-Dibromobenzene → HCID 11233124, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,3-dibromobenzene (7.4 mL, 61 mmol, 1.05 equiv) in THF (70 mL, 0.9 M) at −90° C. was added n-BuLi (2.5 M) (25.5 mL, 64 mmol, 1.10 equiv) dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred 45 min then diphenylchlorophosphine (10.7 mL, 58 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was added dropwise and the resulting dark brown solution was warmed to room temperature for 15 min and filtered through a small pad of Celite. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (Et2O/hexane, 0:100-5:95) to afford (3-bromophenyl)diphenylphosphine (2) (18.1 g, 91%) as a viscous colorless oil, which was characterized as follows:
