Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-chloro-2-fluorotoluene (2.9 g; prepared by a modified Schiemann reaction on 4-chloro-2-methylaniline), NBS (3.6 g) benzoyl peroxide (100 mg) and carbon tetrachloride (25 ml) was refluxed 2h. The mixture was cooled, filtered and the solvent removed. Distillation gave 5-chloro-2-fluorobenzyl bromide (3 g), b.p. 104°/15 mm.
