Benzoyl Peroxide → Dimethyl 4-(bromomethyl)isophthalate

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a solution of dimethyl 4-methylisophthlate (Chemical Formula 4) (4 g, 19.2 mmol) in distilled dichloromethane were added N-bromosuccinimide (NBS, 4.8 g, 26.9 mmol) and benzoic peroxyanhydride (0.47 g, 19.2 mmol), followed by reaction at 80° C. for 24 hours in a pressure vessel with constant stirring. The reaction progress was monitored by TLC [Hex:EA=3:1]. When the reaction was detected to have reached completion, saturated NaHCO3 was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with dichloromethane. The organic layer thus formed was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in a vacuum. The purification of the concentrate through column chromatography [Hexane: EtOAc=20:1] produced 4 g of dimethyl 4-(bromomethyl)isophthalate (Chemical Formula 5) (70%).
