1,2-Bis(bromomethyl)benzene Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

General procedure: To a mixture of NXS and substrate (1 or 6) in CHA mixture of compound 1 (40 g, 0.38 mol), NBS (140.8 g, 0.79 mol), benzoyl peroxide (0.91 g, 3.8 mmol) in CHClSynthesis of the brominated compound was achieved in accordance with the literature. 20 For this purpose, o-xylene (5.80 g, 54.0 mmol) and N-bromosuccinimide(NBS) (20.00 g, 112.3 mmol) were dissolved in 25 ml of carbontetrachloride. A half amount of benzoyl peroxide (0.01 g, 0.04 mmol)was added and heterogeneous reaction mixture started to reflux. After 20 minutes, the other half of benzoyl peroxide (0.01 g, 0.04 mmol)was added and the mixture was refluxed for an additional 6 hoursand cooled down to room temperature. In the following step, succinimide solids precipitated during the reaction was separated fromthe solution under suction and the excess of carbon tetrachloride wasremoved by vacuum distillation. The crude mixture was chilled inthe refrigerator overnight, and the precipitated product was separatedby filtration. A white solid was obtained after recrystallization ofthe crude product from diethyl ether to yield 9.26 g (65percent) of 1, 2-bis(bromomethyl)benzene (observed m.p: 97C, lit m.p: 99C). MS(EI) m/z (percent) calcd. for C8H8Br2: 264.0; found: 264.0 (M+, 11), 183.1(97), 104.2 (100), 78.2 (19).IR (ATR), νmax/cm−1: 3052–3021 (w, aromatic, C-H stretching), 2965 (w, aliphatic C-H stretching), 1489 (m, aliphatic C-H bending), 768 (s, aromatic C-H bending). Elemental analysis: anal. calcd. forC8H8Br2 (264.0): C 36.40 H 3.05 Br 60.54; found: C 35.20 H 2.41.General procedure: NBS (534 mg, 3 mmol) was dissolved in CH
