反应详情

A solution of methyl 2-acetoxy-4-methylbenzoate (24.5 g, 0.118 mole) in carbon tetrachloride (700 ml) was treated with N-bromosuccinimide (20.96 g, 0.118 mole), benzoyl peroxide (0.5 g, catalytic) and AIBN (0.03 g). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux, held at reflux for 1 hour and then allowed to cool to ambient temperature, filtered and evaporated to give methyl 2-acetoxy-4-bromomethylbenzoate which was used without further purification (34 g, 63% of mixture is desired product).
