Azobisisobutyronitrile → HCID 22256031, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

12.0 g of benzyl 2,6-dimethylbenzoate are initially charged into 50 ml of carbon tetrachloride admixed at room temperature with 5.4 g of sulfuryl chloride and 40 mg of AIBN. The mixture is stirred at reflux for 4–5 h. Afterwards, it is admixed with 40 ml of saturated NaHCO3 solution. After the phase separation, the organic phase is washed with 50 ml of 10% sodium sulfite solution, and the organic phase is then dried over magnesium sulfate. The product-containing solution is filtered trough silica gel and washed again with 20 ml of carbon tetrachloride. After distilling off the solvent in vacuo, the product obtained is a bright yellow oil. Yield: 8.0 g (73% of theory; 88.4 area %).
