Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-iodo-6-methyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (3.59 g, 13 mmol), N-bromosuccinamide (2.3 g, 13 mmol), and benzoyl peroxide (0.056 g, 0.21 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (20 mL) was heated at reflux until the starting materials were mostly consumed. Workup afforded 2-bromomethyl-6-iodo-benzoic acid methyl ester. The material was used without further purification.
