4-mmc synthesis

Today we will analyze the complete synthesis of meow meow in a glass "Voss" water bottle. As you can see in the photo, we will also need a measuring jug and a syringe. Let's get started! Measured 100mL of 4-methylpropiophenone and added it to the "Voss" bottle. Measured 76mL of aq.HBr48%...

I've tried this synthesis and gotten yields ranging from 30% 45%. Sharing in case it might be helful to others. Vice versa, other people might know changes to this synthesis for higher yields. Improvements are always welcome Needed: 100 g 2-bromo-4-methylpropiophenone 500 ml DCM 200 ml...
