1-Bromomethyl-2,6-dichlorobenzene → 243118-22-1

Participants

Reaction Steps

24 g (0.1 mol) of 2,6-dichlorobenzyl bromide in 50 ml of dimethyl sulphoxide are added at room temperature to a suspension of 7.2 g (0.11 mol) of sodium azide in 50 ml of dimethyl sulphoxide and the whole is stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. The mixture is then diluted with 250 ml of water and extracted with cyclohexane and the organic phase is washed several times with water. After drying over sodium sulphate, the cyclohexane is distilled off in vacuo at 50°. 2,6-dichlorobenzyl azide is obtained in the form of a colourless liquid. It is used without further purifification.
