Title: BROMO SAFROLE
Post by: Vibrating_Lights on June 10, 2003, 11:01:00 AM
Is ity possible to hydrolize Bromosafrole to MdP2POL With NaOH Heat and H2O? VL_
Title: probably.

to increase reaction speed, you might either work with an organic solvent/PTC system or in alcoholic solution. hydrolysis also works in acidic medium (ie. dil. H2SO4). you'll always get some elimination side-reaction.
now the $100.000-question is: why would you want to do that? (halo-safrole => MDP2P?)

thanks for your cooperation :P
Title: bromosafrole won't give much mdp2pol

That reaction sounds like you are going to get isosafrole as your major product (elimination instead of substitution).
