Azobisisobutyronitrile → HCID 22648021, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,6-dibromo-4-nitrotoluene (3.83 g, 1 eq.), N-bromosuccinimide (3.23 g, 1.4 eq.) and dibenzoylperoxide (315 mg, 0.1 eq.) in CCl4 was degassed with argon. The mixture was brought to reflux and azobisisobutyronitrile (213 mg, 0.1 eq.) was added. The mixture was maintained at reflux for 6 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, concentrated and purified to give 1-Bromomethyl-2,6-dibromo-4nitrobenzene. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ CHCl3: 4.81 (2H, s), 8.41(2H, s).
