Reaction Steps

2-Methyl-4-nitro-benzoic acid ethyl ester (6.0 g, 28.7 mmol), N-bromosuccinimide (5.4 g, 30.3 mmol), and benzoyl peroxide (0.695 g, 2.87 mmol) were combined in CCl4 (250 mL). The reaction was heated to reflux and stirred under a halogen lamp overnight. After aqueous work-up, the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to give the title compound.
