Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-methyl-2,3-bis(acetoxymethyl)-6,7-dimethoxynaphthalene (5.0 g) in carbon tetrachloride (100 ml) are added N-bromosuccinimide (2.8 g) and benzoyl peroxide (150 mg), and the mixture is refluxed for 2 hours. The mixture is allowed to cool, and the insoluble materials are separated by filtration, and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure to give 1-bromomethyl-2,3-bis(acetoxymethyl)-6,7-dimethoxynaphthalene (5.1 g) as crystal.
