Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-methylaniline (10.0 g) in DMF (100 ml) was added dropwise a solution of at room temperature N-bromosuccinimide (16.6 g) in DMF (100 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. The reaction mixture was added to water, and the mixture was extracted with diethylether. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give pale yellow oil of 4-bromo-N-methylaniline (18.18 g).
