Participants

Reaction Steps

18.9 g (0.15 mole) of 3,3-dimethyl-5-hexen-2-one and 1.6 g (0.0054 mole) of iron-III bromide are dissolved in 150 ml of chloroform. 0.16 mole of hydrogen bromide gas are passed in at 0° C. in the course of 90 minutes. The mixture is subsequently stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and the organic phase is separated off, washed with water, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo. 27 g (87% of theory) of 5-bromo-3,3-dimethyl-2-hexanone of refractive index nD20 =1.4639 are obtained.
