Participants

Reaction Steps

To the above alcohol (1.27 g, 8.34 mmol) in 50 ml ether at 0° under nitrogen is added phosphorus tribromide (2.25 g, 8.31 mmol). The reaction mixture is stirred about 2 hours as followed by TLC. The reaction mixture is worked up by pouring onto ice, then extracting with ether/water. The aqueous layer is extracted with ether. The combined ether phases are washed with water and brine, dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated to yield 2-fluoro-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-yl bromide.
