Participants

Reaction Steps

4'-Benzyloxy-3'-(2-benzyloxyethyl)acetophenone (8.0 g) and 0.4 ml of 30% hydrogen bromide acetic acid solution were dissolved in 80 ml of chloroform, and a solution of 1.1 ml of bromine in 30 ml of chloroform was added to the solution dropwise during 2 hours with stirring at room temperature. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel medium pressure liquid column chromatography (eluent: hexane/diethyl ether=2/1) to give 3.9 g of 4'-benzyloxy-3'-(2-benzyloxyethyl)-2-bromoacetophenone having a melting point of 53 to 56° C.
