Procedure

A mixture of 6-methylbenzofuran (3.44 g, 0.026 mol), N-bromosuccinimide (4.63 g, 0.026 mol), dibenzoyl peroxide (trace) and carbon tetrachloride (50 cm3) was refluxed for 5 hr. The mixture was filtered and the solvent was removed from the filtrate. The residue was distilled to give 6-bromomethylbenzofuran (4.38 g, 0.021 mol, 80.0%) b.p. 84°-88° C./0.7 mm Hg.
