Reaktionsschritte

4-Methyl-isophthalic acid dimethyl ester (1.06 g, 5.10 mmol), N-bromosuccinimide (1.00 g, 5.61 mmol) and 1,1′-azobis(cyclohexanecarbonitrile) (0.31 g, 1.27 mmol) were suspended in carbon tetrachloride (22 mL) and the resulting mixture was refluxed for 16 hours under N2. The orange solution was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting orange residue was purified via column chromatography on silica gel (hexanes:EtOAc, 7:1, v/v). 4-Bromomethyl-isophthalic acid dimethyl ester was isolated as a yellow crystalline solid (1.05 g, 72%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 3.95 (s, 3H), 3.97 (s, 3H), 4.96 (s, 2H), 7.57 (d, 1H, J=9.0 Hz), 8.13 (dd, 1H, J=9.0, 3.0 Hz), 8.62 (d, 1H, J=3.0 Hz).
