Reaction Steps

One equivalent of 3,4-dinitrotoluene and 2 equivalents of N-bromosuccinimide in carbon tetrachloride is irradiated with a 500 W tungsten lamp for 4 hours. The mixture is filtered and the filtrated is shaken with a solution of aqueous potassium carbonate. The organic layer is evaporated in vacuo to give 3,4-dinitrobenzaldehyde.
