Abstract

ω-Bromo alcohols have been used extensively as synthetic intermediates, particularly in the synthesis of pheromones. 1 The classic procedure for preparing such compounds is by heating R, ω-diols with aqueous HBr and petroleum ether (bp 100-120 C) in a continuous extraction apparatus. 2 This method works reasonably well but can be inconvenient for large- scale syntheses and is not completely selective, with small amounts of diol and dibromide ...
