Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 3-nitro-4-methylbenzoate (4.147 g), N-bromo-succinimide (7.12 g) and AIBN (0.40 g) in carbon tetrachloride (30 ml) was stirred at 70° C. for 42 hr. After cooling, the insoluble matter was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated to give an oil (7.40 g) containing the object compound.
