Bromine → 1-Bromo-4-[(4-chlorophenyl)sulfanyl]-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

64 g (0.4 mol) of bromine were slowly added to 97 g (0.4 mol) of 1-(4-chlorophenylmercapto)-2,2-dimethyl-butan-3-one at room temperature. The reaction mixture was worked up in a manner corresponding to that in Example 1. 127 g (99% of theory) of 1-bromo-4-(4-chlorophenylmercapto)-3,3-dimethyl-butan-2-one were obtained as a viscous oil. ##STR823##
