A mixture of 2-fluoro-3-methylbenzoic acid (0.462 g, 3 mmol), N-bromosuccinimide (0.560 g, 3.15 mmol), azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) (0.024 g, 0.15 mmol) and CCl4 (10 ml) was heated at reflux for 18 h. The reaction mixture was then reduced in vacuo and partitioned between ethyl acetate and aqueous K2CO3. The aqueous layer was acidified (2M HCl) and cooled in ice. The precipitate obtained was collected by filtration and dried in vacuo to give 3-bromomethyl-2-fluoro-benzoic acid (0.1225 g, 13%) as a colourless solid. (LC/MS: Rt 3.18, [M−H]− 232.91).
