Reaction Steps

A solution of 100 parts of p-nitrobenzal bromide in 1,000 parts of chlorobenzene is stirred with a solution of 80 parts of bromine plus 160 parts of 50% sodium hydroxide in 1,000 parts of water at 50° C for 10 hours. The bottom layer is separated and evaporated to dryness to give 110 parts (86% yield) of p-nitrobenzotribromide, m.p. 66°-70° C.
