Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-chloro-4-methyliodobenzene (9.0 g), N-bromosuccinimide (8.5 g), benzoyl peroxide (0.3 g) and carbon tetrachloride (80 ml) was stirred and heated to reflux for 3 hours. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to give 4-bromomethyl-3-chloroiodobenzene (11 g) which was used without further purification.
