Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

22.5 g (0.15 mol) of commercially available p-n-butylphenol was dissolved in 100 ml glacial acetic acid and was slowly heated to 40° C. 24.5 g (0.153 mol) of bromine was added and the solution was stirred for four hours at 60° C. The glacial acetic acid in the reaction solution was removed by distillation and 31.7 g of 3-bromo-4-n-butylphenol was obtained from the residue by vacuum distillation (85° C./1 mmHg). The yield of 3-bromo-4-n-butylphenol was calculated to be 92.1%.
