Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture comprising 1.3 g of the 2-acetoxy-4-methylbenzophenone prepared in the step (c), 910 mg of N-bromosuccinimide and 20 ml of carbon tetrachloride was heated under reflux together with a small amount of benzoyl peroxide for one hour. The reaction mixture was cooled and filtered through a silica gel bed, and the silica gel was washed with 20% ethyl acetate/hexane. The filtrate and washings were concentrated together. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (7 to 10% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 1.08 g of the title compound.
