Benzoyl Peroxide → HCID 68526059, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(4-ethylphenoxy)-5-nitropyridine (7.33 g, 30 mmol) was dissolved in carbon tetrachloride (100 mL), and to the resulting solution were added N-bromosuccimide (5.34 g, 30 mmol) and benzoyl peroxide (0.73 g, 3 mmol). This solution was refluxed overnight under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction solution was allowed to cool, after which insoluble matter was removed by filtration. The resulting filtrate was washed with a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=10:1), to thereby yield 1.34 g of the title compound.
