Procedure

A solution of 3-chloro-4-nitrotoluene (2.0 g, 12 mmol), NBS (2.62 g, 14.6 mmol) and 2,2′-azo-bis-isobutyronitrile (0.195 g, 1.16 mmol) in α,α,α-trifluorotoluene (200 mL) was heated at 80° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen for 3 h. Solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between EtOAc and water and separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×) and the combined organic fractions were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The crude product was taken to the next step without purification.
