Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-methoxy-6-nitrotoluene (28.2 g, 159 mmol) and N-bromosuccinimide (26.5 g, 159 mmol) in 350 mL CCl4 was treated with a catalytic amount of t-butylhydroperoxide and irradiated with a floodlamp while stirring for 3 hours. The solids formed were filtered and the filtrate concentrated to give 4.0 g of a yellow solid.
