Synthesis
94-08-6
26496-94-6
General procedure for the synthesis of ethyl 4-(bromomethyl)benzoate from ethyl p-methylbenzoate: to a stirred solution of ethyl 4-methylbenzoate (5 g, 30.49 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (35 ml) was added sequentially N-bromosuccinimide (5.90 g, 33.53 mmol) and benzoyl peroxide (720 mg, 1.52 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated under reflux conditions for 4 h. The progress of the reaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC). After completion of the reaction, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and subsequently filtered. The filtrate was concentrated by vacuum evaporation to give the colorless oily product ethyl 4-(bromomethyl)benzoate (7.25 g, 98% yield).
