Participants

Reaction Steps

1,8-Dimethyl-naphthalene (1.30 g, 8.32 mmol) was dissolved in dry carbon tetrachloride (80 mL). To the reaction mixture was added N-bromosuccinimide (1.39 g, 7.82 mmol), dibenzoyl peroxide (6 mg, catalyst) and the reaction mixture was refluxing for 6 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, a precipitate formed on cooling and the precipitate was separated by filtration. The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to yield the title compound as a solid which was used in further steps without additional purification.
