Azobisisobutyronitrile → 3-(4-Bromomethyl-benzooxazol-2-yl)-benzoic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(4-methyl-benzooxazol-2-yl)-benzoic acid methyl ester (1.2 mmol), N-bromo succinimide (1.5 mmol) and AIBN (0.3 mmol) in CCl4 are heated in microwave at 100° C. for 30 minutes (1 mL). The mixture is filtered and concentrated to yield the crude 3-(4-bromomethyl-benzooxazol-2-yl)-benzoic acid methyl ester. LC/MS (ES+): (M+) 346.1, 348.1, (M−Br) 266.1, 268.1.
