Procedure

A mixture of 2,6-dichloro-3-[N-(phthalimidoacetyl)-N-methylamino]toluene (303 mg), N-bromosuccinimide (150 mg), 2,2'-azobis-(2,4-dimethyl-4-methoxyvaleronitrile) (30 mg) and dichloromethane (6 ml) was heated under reflux for 5 hours. N-Bromosuccinimide (75 mg) was added therein and the mixture was heated under reflux for additional 3 hours. The reaction mixture was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution twice and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was crystallized from diethyl ether to give 3-bromomethyl-2,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N-(phthalimidoacetyl)aniline (102 mg) as crystals.
