Benzoyl Peroxide → HCID 20246842, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-bromosuccinimide (0.3 g ) was added portionwise over 15 minutes to a stirred solution of 2-(p-chlorophenyl)-4-phenylindane-1,3-dione (0.5 g) containing benzoyl peroxide (0.01 g) at ambient temperature and the reaction was allowed to stir for a further 15 minutes. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the crude product was chromatographed on silica. The fraction eluted with toluene was recrystallised from diethyl etherhexane to give 2-bromo-2-(p-chlorophenyl)-4-phenylindane-1,3-dione, m.p. 121-123.
