Benzoyl Peroxide → AGN-PC-0NH77L

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of acetic acid 3-acetoxy-4-(7-acetoxy-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)phenyl ester (0.767 g, 1.87 mmol, 1 eq), N-bromosuccinimide (0.349 g, 1.962 mmol, 1.05 eq) and benzoyl peroxide (0.035 g, 0.145 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (30 mL) was stirred and heated to reflux under nitrogen in presence of a 100 W tungsten lamp for 20 hours. Reaction monitoring by MS and TLC showed the presence unreacted starting material, and additional N-bromosuccinimide (0.060 g, 0.34 mmol) and benzoyl peroxide (0.008 g) were added to the reaction mixture and the reaction was heated at reflux under nitrogen for an additional 2 hours. The mixture was evaporated to dryness, dissolved in hot dichloromethane and purified by column chromatography on silica gel using 3% ethyl acetate/hexane as an eluent to yield the title product as a tan crystalline solid.
