Reaction Conditions:
with bromine;iron in chloroform at 0 - 20; for 3 h;Inert atmosphere;
Steps:
1.1 Synthesis of 2-Bromo-5-tert-butyl-1,3-dimethylbenzene (2)
In a 250 mL round-bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and an addition funnel were added5-tert-butyl-m-xylene (91.0 mL, 480 mmol) and iron powder (1.00 g, 1.36 mmol) to 75 mL of chloroform.The solution was cooled to 0 °C. A solution of bromine (27.5 mL, 525 mmol) in 25 mL of solution ofchloroform was added dropwise via the addition funnel. The reaction was stirred for 3 h at roomtemperature and then poured into a cold solution of dilute aqueous NaOH (~1 M). The mixture wasseparated, and the aqueous layer was washed several times with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layerswere dried with MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to a clear oil, which became a white solid uponstanding. The crude solid was recrystallized from ethanol to give 105 g (437 mmol, 90% yield) of the titlecompound.
