Benzoyl Peroxide → 1,1'-(3-Bromoprop-1-ene-1,1-diyl)dibenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1,1-diphenyl-1-propene (17.0 g, 0.10 mol), carbontetrachloride (100 ml), benzoylperoxide (0.2 g) and N-bromosuccinimide (17.8 g, 0.10 mol) was heated at reflux temperature for 18 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, filtered and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo to give 3-bromo-1, 1-diphenyl-1-propene in a quantitative yield.
