With N-Bromosuccinimide In tetrachloromethaneIrradiation |
General procedure (a): A solution of 1,2-dimethylaryle 2b-e,h (10 mmol) and finely pulverised N-bromosuccinimide (NBS 3.68 g, 21 mmol, 2.1 equiv) in CCl4 (40-80 mL) was irradiated with HPK125 mercury lamp for 1-2 h with good stirring (tlc or 1H NMR monitoring). The reaction mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2, washed with H2O or 2 N aqueous NH4Cl solution and dried over MgSO4. The solvent was evaporated to give quantitatively 5b-e,h which was used without further purification. |

With N-Bromosuccinimide; dibenzoyl peroxide In tetrachloromethaneReflux |
Step A – Preparation of Int Int 15-1 A mixture of compound l-bromo-2,3-dimethylbenzene (10.0 g, 54.0 mmol), NBS (19.1 g, 108.0 mmol) and benzoyl peroxide (0.13 g, 0.54 mmol) in CC14 (100 mL) was refluxed overnight. The reaction was then cooled to 0°C and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by column chromatography (Petroleum Ether : EtOAc = 10: 1) to give compound Int 15-1 (1 1.6 g). H NMR (CDCI3): δ 7.56 (d, J=8.0Hz, IH), 7.31 (d, J=6.8Hz, IH), 7.15 (t, J=8.0Hz, IH), 4.83 (s, 2H), 4.63 (s, 2H). MS (ESI): m/z (M+H)+ 343. |
