Bromine → 1-Bromo-4,6,6-trichloro-3,3-dimethylhex-5-en-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

11.475 g (0.05 mol) of 1,1,3-trichloro-4,4-dimethyl-1-hexen-5-one are dissolved in 150 ml of chloroform, and 8 g (0.05 mol) of bromine are added without cooling. The mixture is stirred for 3 hours at room temperature, and hydrogen bromide and solvent are distilled off in vacuo; the final residues are removed in a high vacuum. 15.5 g are obtained of crude 1,1,3-trichloro-6-bromo-4,4-dimethyl-1-hexen-5-one, the structure of which is confirmed by the 1H-NMR spectrum. It is used directly in the next stage:
