Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-bromo-3-methoxytoluene (20 g, 0.1 m), N-bromosuccinimide (17.8 g, 0.1 m) and dibenzoyl peroxide in carbon tetrachloride (200 ml) is heated to reflux and irradiated with a sunlamp. The mixture is cooled, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give 5-bromo-3-methoxybenzyl bromide.
