Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7.1 gm. of 2-(4-ethylphenyl) benzoxazole in 125 cc. of carbon tetrachloride is added 6.2 gm. of N-bromosuccinimide and 50 mg. of benzoyl peroxide. The mixture is refluxed for about one half hour at which time the N-bromosuccinimide was consumed. Filtration followed by concentration of the filtrate gives 2-(4-[1-bromoethyl]phenyl)benzoxazole, m.p. 128°-131°C.
