Hydrochloric Acid → 3,5-Dibromo-1-trimethylsilylbenzene

Temperature

-55 °C

42.4 g of Tribromobenzene (134.6 mmol) was dissolved in 600 mL Et2O. The solution was chilled to −55° C., at which temperature starting material precipitated. 54 mL of n-BuLi (2.5 M in hexanes, 135 mmol) were added within 20 minutes. After stirring for 35 minutes at −52° C., 20 ml TMSCl (158 mmol) and 20 mL Et2O were added within 7 minutes. The suspension turned into a solution at −42° C., and a fine precipitate appeared at −30° C. The suspension was stirred overnight at room temperature. 100 mL 2M HCl were used to hydrolyze the mixture. After stirring for 30 minutes, the Et2O-phase was dried with MgSO4, filtered, and solvent evaporated until compound crystallized out of solution. The flask was stored overnight at +4° C. The crystalline compound was filtered, washed with a small amount cold pentane, and dried under vacuo. A second fraction of crystalline compound was obtained from the filtrate. Yield: 31.9 g (103.5 mmol, 77%). 1H-NMR(CHCl3=7.24 ppm): δ7.62(t, 1H), 7.49(d, 2H), 0.25(s, 3×3H).
