Reaction Steps

A 500 ml three neck round bottom flask was equipped with a mechanical stirrer, heating mantle and condenser. To the flask was added 45 g (0.12 mole) of 2-(1-isobutyl-3-methylbutoxy)-7H-benzo[de]anthracene-7-one, 23.6 g (0.13 mole) N-bromosuccinimide and 265 g DMF. The mixture was agitated well, heated to 50° C. and held at 50° C. for two hours. Some of the DMF was stripped from the reaction using heat and vacuum and then 300 g chloroform were added to the flask. The resulting solution was washed three times with 250 g deionized water. The solvent was removed using a rotary evaporator; the yield was 52.5 g of a dark brown oil.
