Bromine → 2-Bromo-6-phenylcyclohexanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

Step AAA (1): Followed the procedure of B. Miller and H.-S. Wong Tetrahedron 1972, 28, 2369. A solution of bromine (0.348 mL, 6.75 mmol) in CCl4 (5 mL) was added dropwise to a solution of 2-phenylcyclohexanone (1.12 g, 6.43 mmol) in CCl4 (11 mL) at 0° C. The nearly colorless solution was evaporated in vacuo to afford 2-bromo-6-phenylcyclohexanone. The crude product, which is prone to decomposition, was used for subsequent chemistry without purification or characterization.
