1-(bromomethyl)-2-tert-butylbenzene

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To 1-tert-butyl-2-methyl-benzene (940 mg, 6.34 mmol), NBS (1.24 g, 1.1 eq) and AIBN (20 mg, catalytic amount) was added CCl4 (12 mL), which was then refluxed for 1 h. The suspended particles were removed by filtration, and washed with CCl4. The organic layers were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 1.5 g of a yellow liquid in a stoichiometric yield. was then refluxed for 1 h The suspended particles were removed by filtration washed with CCl4 concentrated under reduced pressure
