Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 47% hydrobromic acid (3.0 g) and phosphorus tribromide (15.7 ml) was stirred at 40° C. for 3 hours, and a solution of 3-(m-phenoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-2-propenyl alcohol (9.5 g) in ethanol (20 ml) was dropwise added thereto at 10° C. The resultant mixture was aged at the same temperature for 5 hours, poured into ice-water (200 ml) and extracted with diethyl ether (100 ml×2). The ethereal layer was combined, washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 3-(m-phenoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-propenylbromide (6 g).
