Carbon tetrabromide → 1-Bromo-4-(3-bromopropyl)benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of intermediate 49 (Example 99) (4.0 g, 19 mmol) in THF (30 mL) at 0° C. under the argon atmosphere was added PPh3 (6.3 g, 24 mmol) followed by CBr4 (8.0 g, 24 mmol). The mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 15 min and then stirred at room temperature for additional 15 h. Most of the solvent was removed and the residue purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (hexane) to afford the title compound (3.5 g, 66%) as a colorless oil.
