Participants

Reaction Steps

0.406 g (1.08 mmol) of 1-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(3′,4′-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-oxo-3-ethoxy-propane were reacted with boron tribromide (10.84 mmol) in 22 mL dichloromethane for three days by the method of Bannwart C. et al. Finn. Chem. Lett. 11 120 (1984). Workup and chromatography of the reaction product afforded 1-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-(3′,4′-dihydroxyphenyl)-1-oxo-2-propene as the minor product and 1-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-(3′,4′-dihydroxyphenyl)-1-oxo-3-bromo-propane as the major product.
