Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3′-fluoro-4′-methylbiphenyl-2-carbonitrile (110 g), N-bromosuccinimide (97.3 g) and benzotrifluoride (1.0 L) was added azobisisobutyronitrile (1.71 g), and the mixture was heated to an internal temperature of 78° C. and stirred for 16 hr. The reaction mixture was cooled to around 40° C., and the insoluble material was removed to give a solution of 4′-(bromomethyl)-3′-fluorobiphenyl-2-carbonitrile in benzotrifluoride.
