Procedure

A stirred solution of 2,4-difluoro-3-methyl[1,1'-biphenyl] (2.2 g, 0.011 mole) and N-bromosuccinimide (1.9 g, 0.011 mole) in 100 ml of carbon tetrachloride was irradiated with a 250 watt brooder lamp for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to reflux from the heat of the lamp. The reaction mixture was then filtered, and the filter cake was washed with three portions of carbon tetrachloride. The washes and filtrate were combined and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 3-bromomethyl-2,4-difluoro[1,1'-biphenyl] (3.5 g) as an oil whose nmr spectrum was consistent with that expected for the named compound.
