Abstract
A literature synthesis of 3-bromo-2,2-dimethyl-propanal (2) is reinvestigated since in our hands it gave very unreliable results. The ensuing decomposition reactions are studied (including X-ray structure of the trimer of 2: 2,4,6-tris-(2-bromo-1,1-dimethyl-ethyl)-1,3,5-trioxane (3)), and a reliable method for the synthesis of 2 based on TEMPO catalyzed oxidation with NaOCl as co-oxidant is presented.
