Procedure

5.37 g of 4-nitrophthalide (Tetrahedron Lett. (2001), 42, pp. 1647-50), 8.04 g of N-bromosuccinimide and 196 mg of benzoyl peroxide are refluxed in 80 ml of benzotrifluoride and heated by exposure to light until the reaction is completed. It is added to water, extracted with dichloromethane, washed several times with water, dried, and the solvent is removed in a vacuum. 7.24 g of 3-bromo-4-nitro-phthalide is obtained as a solid.
