1,3-Bis(4-bromophenyl)propane-1,3-dione

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: In a 250 ml round bottom flask, 4 g (10.4 mmol) of [2] was dissolved in 100 ml dry dioxane and heated to reflux, then 3.0 g (43.2 mmol) hydroxylamine hydrogen chloride in 10 ml water and 5 ml (25 mmol) 5N NaOH was then dropped into the refluxing mixture. After 12 hours, the reaction mixture was cooled down to room temperature, and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The product was recrystallized from ethanol. Characterization. Yield: 3.41 g (85%).

Procedure: In a 1-liter three neck round bottom flask , 43 g (0.2 mol) methyl 4-bromobenzoic acid and 17.6 g (0.4 mol) sodium hydride were dissolved in 200 ml dried benzene and heated to 60° C. Next, 39.8 g (0.2 mol) 4-bromoacetophenone in 100 ml dry benzene was slowly added through a dropping f umnel, and 1 ml methanol was added to the flask to initiate the reaction. After the mixture was refluxed overnight, the reaction was quenched by adding methanol and pouring it into ice water. The pH of the mixture was brought down to 7.0 using 5N sulfuric acid. A solid was collected, washed with water, and recrystallized from benzene to give a light yellow product. Characterization. Yield: 30.3 g (40%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3, 20° C., δ): 7.84 (d, 4H, ArH); 7.62 (d, 4H, ArH); 6.77(s, 2H, CH2).
