Procedure
4-Chloromethyl-1-methyl-2-nitro-benzene (5 g) was dissolved in 50 ml of acetone and 23.4 g of lithium bromide was added. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 18 hr. The solvent was evaporated off and the residue was tritrated with hexane to give 5.3 g of 4-bromomethyl-1-methyl-2-nitro-benzene as a tan solid. ##STR125##
