The solution was then stirred for 20 minutes longer, poured into water and the mixture extracted with CH2Cl2. The CH2Cl2 extracts were washed with 10% NaHCO3, dried (Na2SO4) and solvents removed to afford 4.86 g (86%) of the desired nitro compound 27: NMR (CDCl3) 4.5 (s,6,--CH2Br), 7.55 (s,--C6H2).
