Participants

Reaction Steps

A slurry of 140 mg of 3,3-difluoro-2-methyl-1-nonadecene in 2 ml of carbon tetrachloride containing 43 mg of N-bromosuccinimide and a catalytic amount of azobisisobutryonitrile is stirred at ambient temperature for 30 minutes. The mixture is filtered through a short pad of silica gel which is repeatedly washed with hexane. The combined filtrates are evaporated and the residue is purified on silica gel using hexanes to give 38 mg of the desired product as an oil.
