Azobisisobutyronitrile → HCID 22262186, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-methyl-3-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl)benzene (1.363 g, 6.611 mmol), N-bromosuccinimide (1.18 g, 6.61 mmol) and 2,2′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (30 mg) in carbon tetrachloride (20 ml) was heated under reflux for 1.5 hrs. After cooling the reaction solution to room temperature, the white precipitate was collected by filtration and the precipitate was washed with hexane. The solvent of the recovered filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to give a crude product of 3-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl)benzyl bromide as a colorless liquid.
