Participants

Reaction Steps

The oil is mixed with 200 ml of carbon tetrachloride and cooled in an ice bath. Bromine, diluted with an equal volume of carbon tetrachloride, is added slowly with agitation while maintaining the temperature below 10°C. Bromine addition is stopped when the bromine is no longer decolorized. To the brominated mixture, containing 1,2-dibromononen-1-yl acetate, is added 500 ml of methyl alcohol with shaking and cooling. The mixture is allowed to stand two days with occasional shaking and then diluted with 1.5 liters of water. The separated oil is washed with 5% sodium carbonate solution until free of acid and then fractionally distilled in the presence of a small amount of sodium carbonate to yield 2-bromo-nonanal dimethyl acetal.
