Synthesis of 12-Bromo-1-dodecanol


Beilstein 1(2)463
CAS 3344-77-2
I ran a search in Google got 1 hit:

12-Bromo-1-dodecanol (1). To a solution of 1,12-dodecan-
diol (4.04 g, 20 mmol) in 50 mL of toluene cooled to 0°C was
added 28 mL of HBr (48%, 240 mmol), and the mixture was re-fluxed in the dark for 5 h (TLC monitoring). The reaction was allowed to cool to room temperature, and 50 mL of brine was then added. The mixture was extracted with hexane, dried, fil-tered, and concentrated at reduced pressure.
How could I get rid of the byproduct that is still in the product?
i do this product in term of front ,is right?
Does anybody have experience with the synthesis 12-Bromo-1-dodecanol




Don\'t try to hard,the best things come when you least expect them to.

I can think of two alternatives for the bromination.

1. PBr3

2. TCT/DMF complex + KBr

Is the 1,12-diol commercially available or will you need to build it?

I suppose it ought to be readily available by reduction of the saturated C12 dicarboxylic acid.

In workup you will have unreacted acid, your product and maybe a little 1,12 dibromo compound if you exceeded 1 mol eq. reagent to substrate. Prep LC is probably your best bet for isolation. Pain in the neck but will give you purest unambiguous product. Otherwise is the product solid or liquid?
That will dictate purification. Even if solid it might be distilled at low enough pressure without heating so much as to decompose.

----------------------

Aldrich 224677 99% also sold by Fluka

1 bromo 12 dodecanol

mp 34-36 C

bp 155 C/4mm

Sold in 1 and 5 g glass bottles.

Can't blame you though, Aldrich is too expensive!

Anyway there's your answer, you can distill it with a good two stage pump and a half decent column. So you won't need the prep LC.

How could I get rid of the byproduct that is still in the product? - all organic stuff you can have is diol, desired monoalcohol and dibromide. It schould be great difference in terms of water/hexane solubility, Rf in chromat. and boiling points between all of them. Diol and inorganic rest you will wash with water . Most certain way to get out of dibromide will be small column in hexane or petrol ether. then distillation (UPD: bp 155/4 Kugelrohr or just skip it ).

PS: Aldrich is expensive, but comprehensive.

Agreed, but I wish they packaged a product like this in something more than 5 g.

I didn't bother looking up the glycol (diol) once I saw the target product. Maybe Acros or Merck has it too, they are sometimes easier to deal with then Aldrich (at least from my location. NB: neither one has the bromide or diol but Aldrich does see below.))

Synonym Dodecamethylene glycol
Molecular FormulaHO(CH2)12OH
Molecular Weight202.33
CAS Number5675-51-4
Beilstein Registry Number 1742760
EG/EC Number 2271339
MDL number MFCD00004755

Aldric D221309 100 ml poly bottle

There's a more reasonable amount. The monobromide will gain mass so as long as yield is high, and it ought to be, he ought to end up with c150 g at least.

bp 189 C/12 mm
mp 79-81 C

this question was preveilling in last century. how to get rid of side-product? just diol reacts completly. then make phase separated. it should be OK
