Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(3-thienyl)toluene (3.56 g, 20.5 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (100 ml) is added N-bromosuccinimide (3.64 g, 20.5 mol) and benzoyl peroxide (80 mg, 3.3 mmol). The reaction mixture is heated at reflux for 24 hrs. and concentrated in vacuo. The reaction mixture is recrystallized from ethanol to afford 4-(3-thienyl)benzyl bromide.
