Bromine → HCID 21258466, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Bromine (0.52 ml) was added dropwise over 20 minutes at ambient temperature to a stirred solution of 1-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]-3-phenylpropan-1-one (3 g) in ether (50 ml). After the addition was complete and the bromine colour had dissipated, the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for a further 1 hour then it was washed with water (30 ml), saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (2×30 ml) and water (30 ml), dried (MgSO4), and the solvent removed in vacuo to give 2-bromo-1-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]-3-phenylpropan-1-one as an oil which was used without purification.
