Reaction Steps

2-(3-Methoxy-phenyl)-2-propyl-cyclohexanone (100 mg, 0.41 mmol) was dissolved in chloroform (1 mL). To this solution bromine (68.1 mg, 0.43 mmol) in chloroform (0.5 mL) was added drop wise at −11° C. The reaction was stirred at 5° C. for 1½ hours, at room temperature for 1 hour and at 50° C. for 1 hour. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to yield the crude title compound (126 mg) which was used directly in the next step without further purification.
