Reaction Steps

Treat a mixture of 1-bromo-2,4-dichloro-3-methyl-benzene (76.01 g, 0.316 mol) and N-bromosuccinimide (59.2 g, 0.332 mol) in CCl4 (500 mL) with benzoyl peroxide (0.77 g, 3.18 mmol) and is heat to reflux for 6 hours under N2. Cool the reaction mixture to 0° C. and filter using hexanes to rinse the solids. Extract the filtrate with water and saturated NaHCO3. Dry the organic layer (Na2SO4) and remove the solvent in vacuo to afford 97.89 g (97%) of the titled product. Rf=0.34 (100% hexanes).
