Reaktionsschritte

Substituted benzyl bromide compounds can also be prepared from commercially available substituted benzaldehydes, benzoic acids and benzoic esters by first converting these compounds to the corresponding alcohol. Exemplary synthetic methodology to provide substituted benzyl bromide from benzyl aldehyde is described below. For example, as illustrated in Scheme 12, treatment of 4-hydroxy-3-nitro-benzaldehyde 73 with benzyl bromide in the presence of K2CO3 in DMF at 65° C. gives 4-benzyloxy-3-nitro-benzaldehyde 74. Reduction of compound 74 in methanol with NaBH4 affords the alcohol 75 and subsequent bromination using PBr3 in diethyl ether provides the desired bromide compound 76.
