Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-p-tolylethanone (600 mg, 4.47 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (15 mL) was added N-bromosuccinimide (955 mg, 5.37 mmol) and BPO (31 mg, 0.13 mmol). The mixture was refluxed for 3 h; then it was cooled, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to give 1-(4-(bromomethyl)phenyl)ethanone (683 mg, 71%) as a brown oil. LCMS MH+ 213.
