Azobisisobutyronitrile → HCID 69116061, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-methyl-1-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfinyl]benzene (1.15 g, 5.00 mmol), N-bromosuccinimide (1.08 g, 6.00 mmol), 2,2′-azobis-(2-methylpropionitrile) (100 mg, 0.600 mmol), and CCl4 (25.0 mL) as solvent was stirred for 5 min at room temperature and then heated to reflux for 12 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered and the solvent was removed in vacuo, affording a crude product which was used in the next step without any further purification (1.21 g, 78.1% yield). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.71-7.57 (m, 2H), 7.57-7.40 (m, 4H), 7.36-7.16 (m, 2H), 4.46 (s, 2H), 2.37 (s, 3H).
