Azobisisobutyronitrile → HCID 66970222, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

9.7 g (40 mmol) of the compound obtained in Step 2 was dissolved in 200 ml of carbon tetrachloride, and 0.7 g (4 mmol) of AIBN and 7.9 g (44 mmol) of N-bromosuccinimide were added thereto. The mixture was refluxed for 5 hours, and cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was washed with 50 ml of water twice and 50 ml portions of a brine solution, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, and distilled under a reduced pressure to obtain (E)-methyl-2-(2-bromomethyl-4-chlorophenyl)-3-methoxyacrylate containing a small amount of the starting material as an oil.
