Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Benzoyl-2,3-bis(bromomethyl)benzene (8.0 g, 22 mmol) (crude, Description 7) was dissolved in carbon tetrachloride (50 ml) and recrystallized N-bromosuccinimide (3.9 g 22 mmol) and dibenzoyl peroxide (100 mg) were added. The mixture was heated to reflux for sixteen hours, cooled and filtered. The solid was washed with carbon tetrachloride (2×10 ml) and the combined organic layers were evaporated under reduced pressure to give crude 1-benzoyl-2-bromomethyl-3-(dibromomethyl)benzene (9.0 g, 93% recovery).
