To a solution of 75 g (0.3 mol) of 2,5-dibromotoluene in 1 L of carbon tetrachloride was added 58.73 g (0.33 mol) of NBS and 50 mg of benzyl peroxide, and the resulting mixture was refluxed with stirring for 24 h. The mixture was cooled, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was crystallized from hot methanol and washed with hexane to afford 54.5 g (55.7%) of 2.5-dibromobenzyl bromide as a solid.
