Participants

Reaction Steps

56.9 g (0.2 mol) of 4-acetoxy-1-(4-chlorophenoxy)-3,3-dimethyl-butan-2-one were dissolved in 350 ml of carbon tetrachloride. 10.3 g (0.2 mol) of bromine were added dropwise, at room temperature, in such a way that the bromine was steadily consumed. Thereafter, the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. After distilling off the solvent in vacuo, 4-acetoxy-1-bromo-1-(4-chlorophenoxy)-3,3-dimethyl-butan-2-one was obtained quantitatively and could be directly reacted further. ##STR11##
