9-Phenylanthracene → 9-Bromo-10-phenyl-anthracene

Participants

Reaction Steps

An amount of 13.65 (53.7 mmol) of 9-phenylanthracene was dissolved in 100 ml of N,N dimethylformamide. An amount of 10.5 g (59 mmol) of N bromosuccinimide was added and allowed to react for six hours. Then, distilled water was added to stop the reaction and the deposit was filtered. The recovered deposit was purified by column chromatography to obtain 15.97 g (48 mmol) of 9-bromo-10-phenylanthracene. The yield was 89.3%.
