Procedure

N-Bromosuccinimide ("NBS") (1.11 g, 6.2 mmole) was added to a solution of 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzofuran (1.00 g, 5.65 mmole) and azobisisobutyronitrile (20 mg) in carbon tetrachloride and the mixture was heated at reflux temperature for 11/2hours in the presence of a bright light. The solvent was then evaporated and the residue dissolved in methylene chloride, washed with water, dried (MgSO4), evaporated to dryness and purified by column chromatography on silica eluting with methylene chloride/hexane (7:3). The product-containing fractions were combined and evaporated to give the title compound, yield 1.43 g. 'H-N.m.r. clearly showed that the product contained 20% of 2-dibromomethyl-6-nitrobenzofuran, however, it was not considered necessary to remove this and the product was used directly without further purification.
