Bromine → HCID 942132, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In this Reference Example, 38.4 g of 5-fluoro-3-methyl-2-acetylbenzo [b] furan is dissolved in 200 ml of acetic acid and 32.0 g of bromine is added dropwise thereto at room temperature. The mixture solution is then stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature, whereby the color of bromine disappears and crystals are deposited from the solution. Then, the solution is filtered to obtain 38.0 g of 5-fluoro-3-methyl-2-(α-bromoacetyl) benzo [b] furan as crystals. (Yield: 70%). Melting point of the desired compound recrystallized from ethanol is 120°-123° C.
