To a solution of 4-methyl-3-nitroanisole (16.53 mL; 119.64 mmol; 1 eq), in CCl4 (500 mL) is added N-bromosuccinimide (21.29 g; 119.64 mmol; 1 eq) and azoisobutyronitrile (392.9 mg; 2.39 mmol; 0.02 eq). The mixture is heated at 85° C. for 20 h. The solution is cooled down to room temperature and the precipitate of succinimide is removed by filtration. The filtrate is concentrated to afford a yellow oil. The oil crystallizes after one night at −25° C. It is redissolved in EtOAc (15 mL) and petroleum ether is added. After 2 h at −25° C., the compound recrystallizes. After filtration and washing with petroleum ether, the solid is dried under vacuum to afford 17.4 g (59%) of the title compound as a liquid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 7.68 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.56 (d, J=3 Hz, 1H), 7.33 (dd, J=8.0, 3.0 Hz, 1H), 4.89 (s, 2H), 3.87 (s, 3H). HPLC (max plot) 99%; Rt 4.09 min.
