Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-2-methyl-6-nitro-benzoic acid methyl ester (8.9 g, 25.1 mmol) and N-bromosuccinimide (5.36 g, 30.1 mmol) in 50 mL of CCl4 is added 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (412 mg, 2.5 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture is stirred at 80° C. for 22 hours and then cooled to room temperature and then quenched by crushed ice. The mixture is extracted with dichloromethane and washed with aqueous NaHCO3 solution followed by brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated in vacuo to afford the 2-bromomethyl-3-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-6-nitro-benzoic acid methyl ester (12.6 g) as brown oil. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, δ, ppm) CDCl3: 0.37 (s, 6H), 1.07 (s, 9H), 4.0 (s, 3H), 4.49 (s, 2H), 6.94 (d, 1H), 8.09 (d, 1H).
