Reaction Steps

4.6 g (31.3 mmol) of 4-methyl-2-methoxybenzonitrile were brominated with 34.7 mmol of N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of catalytic amounts of azobisisobutyronitrile in 60 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane under reflux. 2.5 g of the product were obtained. 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6, δ in ppm): 7.75 (d, 1H), 7.35 (s, broad, 1H), 7.15 (d, broad, 1H), 4.73 (s, 2H), 3.95 (s, 3H)
