Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 2-methoxy-4-methylbenzoate (5.0 g), N-bromosuccinimide (4.94 g), 2,2′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (0.23 g) and carbon tetrachloride (50 ml) was heated for 40 minutes under reflux. The mixture was cooled and the precipitate was filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated to give methyl 4-bromomethyl-2-methoxybenzoate as an oil.
