Participants

Reaction Steps

To 13.0 g (100 mmol) of dihydronaphthalene, dissolved in a mixture of 100 ml of water and 400 ml of tetrahydrofuran, at ambient temperature, there are added, all at once, 19.6 g (110 mmol) of N-bromosuccinimide and stirring is carried out for 3 hours. There are then added 200 ml of ice-cold water and 200 ml of ether; stirring is carried out and the phases are separated. The aqueous phase is extracted with 200 ml of ether; the combined organic phases are then washed with 200 ml of a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and dried and then evaporated to yield the expected compound.
