Azobisisobutyronitrile → HCID 86726615, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (200 mg, 1.08 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (3 mL) was stirred with N-bromosuccinimide (192 mg, 1.08 mmol) and azobisisobutyronitrile (36.1 mg, 0.22 mmol) at 80° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture allowed to cool to room temperature and was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane→ethyl acetate/hexane=1/3 (v/v)) to give the title compound as a colorless solid (140 mg, yield 49%).
