Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-methoxy-5-methylbenzoic acid methyl ester (J.Chem.Soc.Perkin Trans.1, 1994, 1125) (1.47 g) and N-bromosuccinimide (1.45 g) in benzene (15 ml) was irradiated under a 500 W halogen lamp for 3 hours. The solvent was evaporated and the residue triturated with diethyl ether. The succinimide was filtered off and the filtrate evaporated.
