Reaktionsschritte

Part C. To a solution of 2-fluoro-4-iodo-1-methylbenzene (50 g, 210 mmol) in anhydrous acetone (490 mL) was added N-bromosuccinimide (42 g, 230 mmol) and 2,2′-azobisiso-butyronitrile (100 mg, 0.60 mmol). The resulting solution was heated to reflux and maintained under reflux conditions for 5 h. The reaction was then cooled, concentrated, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated, and the resulting dark red residue was purified by flash column chromatography (10% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford a 4:1 mixture (58 g) of 1-(bromomethyl)-2-fluoro-4-iodobenzene (49 g, 73%) and 2-fluoro-4-iodo-1-methylbenzene (9 g, 17%) as a red solid. 1H NMR (product) (CDCl3) δ 7.40-7.49 (m, 2H), 7.13 (t, 1H), 4.45 (s, 2H).
