Potassium Iodide → HCID 23036227, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-fluoro-5-(trichlorovinyl)toluene (2.39 g) and dibenzoyl peroxide (0.2 g) in 60 ml of benzene at reflux, N-bromosuccinimide (2.21 g) is added in portions. The mixture is heated at reflux until the solution gives a negative reaction with potassium iodide. The reaction mixture is concentrated and the residue triturated with 100 ml of hexane. The precipitated succinimide is collected by filtration and the filtrate concentrated and then chromatographed on silica gel (hexane) to give the desired benzyl bromide.
