Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methylbenzoxazole (P0001; 5.44 g), N-bromosuccinimide (4.77 g) and 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (92 mg) in CCl4 (54 ml) was refluxed overnight. The insoluble was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated and cooled. The precipitates were collected and washed with CCl4 to give pale brown crystals of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-(bromomethyl)benzoxazole (P0002; 6.31 g).
