1-Bromo-3-chloropropane → HCID 12831123, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Bromo-3-chloropropane (17.3 g) is added to a stirred mixture of 4-hydroxyindanone (14.8 g), potassium carbonate (15.3 g) in DMF/water (150 ml/50 ml) and the reaction mixture stirred at RT for about 4 days. The reaction mixture is partitioned between water and methylene chloride and the organic layer is separated, dried, filtered and evaporated, affording a residue which is chromatographed on a silica gel column to yield the desired product as a white solid.
