Participants

Reaction Steps

1,2-bis(2-methylpropoxy)benzene (359.61 g, 1.62 mol) was initially introduced with 500 ml of CH2Cl2, and a little iron powder was added. Bromine (266.88 g, 1.78 mol) (mixed with about 200 ml of CH2Cl2) was then slowly added dropwise with cooling. The batch was stirred at room temperature for about 20 hours. For work-up, the batch was stirred with aqueous Na2SO3 solution, and the iron powder was subsequently filtered off. The organic phase was then washed by shaking 2× with NaHCO3 solution, and subsequently washed with water until neutral. After drying, the organic phase was evaporated.
