Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(2-methylphenyl)-1-phenyl-1-propene (9.0 g, 43 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (40 ml), N-bromosuccinimide (7.7 g, 43 mmol) and benzoylperoxide (0.1 g) were added. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux temperature for 18 h. The cooled reaction mixture was filtered through silica gel and the solvent evaporated in vacuo to give 9.3 g (76%) of 3-bromo-1-(2-methylphenyl)-1-phenyl-1-propene.
