Hydrogen Bromide → HCID 5323829, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 68 g (0.5 mol) 1,5-dimethyl-1,5-cyclooctadiene and 1,6-dimethyl-1,5-cyclooctadiene (ratio 80/20) was boiled under stirring for 1 hour with 500 ml 48% hydrogen bromide and 10 g of AMBERLYST A15 ion-exchange resin. Thereafter, the reaction product was subjected to azeotrope distillation with the aqueous hydrogen bromide solution. The distillate was then extracted with pentane. The pentane layer was treated as described in Example 1a. By fractional distillation under reduced pressure 81 g 1,5-dimethyl-8-bromobicyclo[3,2,1]octane (b.p. 93° C./10 mm Hg) was obtained in 93.3% yield. The purity of the product according to gas-liquid chromatography was more than 98%.
