Azobisisobutyronitrile → 2-(Bromomethyl)-1-fluoro-4-nitrobenzene

참여 물질

반응 단계

186 g (1.20 mol) of 2-fluoro-5-nitrotoluene are dissolved in 1.2 l of carbon tetrachloride, and 214 g (1.20 mol) of N-bromosuccinimide are added. 19.7 g (120 mmol) of azodiisobutyronitrile are added, and the mixture is heated under reflux. After 16 h, the mixture is allowed to cool, filtered and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue is dissolved in 300 ml of dichloromethane, and 300 g of sea sand are added. Once more, the mixture is then concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure, and the residue is applied to a 1 kg silica gel column. The product is chromatographed using a 20:1 mixture of cyclohexane and ethyl acetate, and the product fractions are evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue is crystallized with cyclohexane and dried under reduced pressure. This gives 92 g (32% of theory) of the desired product.
