Reaction Steps

25.55 g (130.9 mmol) of 2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid methyl ester is added to 300 ml of carbon tetrachloride, and mixed with 25.6 g (141.7 mmol) of N-bromosuccinimide and 62.8 mg of benzoyl peroxide. After seven days of refluxing, the succinimide is suctioned off after cooling, and then the filtrate is spun in until a dry state is reached. The desired compound that is incorporated in crude form into the next stage remains.
