Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 4-bromo-1-chloro-2-methylbenzene (5.0 g, 24.0 mmol), N-bromosuccinimide (4.4 g, 25.0 mmol), and benzoyl peroxide (700 mg, 2.9 mmol) in anhydrous carbon tetrachloride (85 mL) was stirred at reflux for 4 hours. Dichloromethane (50 mL) was added. The mixture was extracted with 1 N NaOH (1×150 mL) and brine (1×150 mL). The organic extract was recovered, dried over MgSO4, filtered, evaporated, and dried in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (0-5% EtOAc/hexanes), affording 4-bromo-2-(bromomethyl)-1-chlorobenzene (4.76 g, 70% yield). The product was used without further purification.
