Reaction Steps
A mixture of 2-fluoro-5-nitrotoluene (0.750 g, 4.83 mmol), NBS (1.549 g, 8.70 mmol) and AIBN (0.159 g, 0.967 mmol) in trifluorotoluene (15 ml) was heated to reflux overnight. The mixture was cooled RT, the solids removed via filtration and the filtrate concentrated to dryness and purified via silica gel chromatography (EtOAc/Hex) to afford ˜80% pure 2-(bromomethyl)-1-fluoro-4-nitrobenzene (956 mg, 63% yield).
