関与物質

反応手順

5.34 g (30 millimoles) of methyl 2-methylphenylglyoxylate and 5.34 g (30 millimoles) of N-bromosuccinimide in 1,000 ml of tetrachloromethane are exposed to a 300 W mercury vapor lamp for one hour. Thereafter, the organic phase is washed once with water and three times with sodium bicarbonate solution, dried over sodium sulfate/sodium carbonate and evaporated down, and the crude product is then chromatographed over silica gel using 1:9 methyl tert-butyl ether/n-hexane. 3.8 g (49%) of the abovementioned compound are obtained as a yellow oil.
