Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-methoxy-2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoate (800 mg, 3.6 mmol) in CH3CN (10 mL) was added NBS (770 mg, 4.3 mmol) and AIBN (12 mg, 0.072 mmol) under the protection of N2. The mixture was refluxed at 80° C. for overnight. After the solvent was evaporated in vacuo, the resulting residue was purified by silica gel-column (eluting with PE/EA=15:1) to afford methyl 2-(bromomethyl)-3-methoxy-4-nitrobenzoate as yellow oil (910 mg, yield 84%). m/z (ES+APCI)+: [M−Br]+224.1.
