Procedure

A suspension of N-bromosuccinimide (16.4 g, 87.4 mmol), 4-bromo-chlorotoluene (18.2 g, 87.4 mmol) and α,α′-azoisobutyronitrile (0.67 g, 4 mmol) in 90 mL dichloromethane is heated in the microwave for 1 min at 100° C. and then cooled overnight at −20° C. The resulting white precipitate is filtered and the filtrate is evaporated down. The residue is stirred with 100 mL diethyl ether, filtered, evaporated down and filtered again.
