Benzoyl Peroxide → 3-Bromo-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-1-(2-methylphenyl)-1-propene

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-1-(2-methylphenyl)-1-propene (18.3 g, 0.077 mol), carbon tetrachloride (80 ml), benzoylperoxide (0.15 g) and N-bromosuccinimide (14.2 g, 0.080 mol) was heated at reflux temperature for 5 h. The reaction mixture was left overnight at room temperature, filtered and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to give 3-bromo-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-1-(2-methylphenyl)-1-propene in a quantitative yield.
