Procedure

Step H1. A mixture of 3,5-dibromo-toluene (4.25 g, 17 mmol), NBS (3 g, 17 mmol), and AIBN (150 mg) in carbon tetrachloride (50 mL) was heated at 80° C. for 3 hours. The resulting mixture was run through a silicon gel column with dichloromethane as the eluant. The fraction was collected and solvent was removed by rotovap, crude 1,3-dibromo-5-(bromomethyl)benzene was obtained as a white residue.
