1,2-Dibromoethane → HCID 22905874, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,4-dibromo-6-tert-butylphenol (5.00 g, 16.2 mmol) in acetone (70 mL) is added 1,2-dibromoethane (2.80 mL, 32.5 mmol) and K2CO3 (6.70 g, 48.7 mmol). The mixture is heated at reflux for 14 h, and then is filtered and evaporated. The residue is purified by chromatography over SiO2 eluting with hexanes. The resulting oil is distilled to give 1,5-dibromo-(2-bromoethoxy)-3-tert-butylbenzene as a pale yellow oil.
