Side Chain Bromination of 4 – Nitro Toluene by an Electro Chemical Method

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Applied Chemistry (IOSR-JAC) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 4

Abstract

A simple method for the preparation of 4 – Nitro Benzyl Bromide from 4 – Nitro Toluene is reported. The electrolysis was carried out in a two compartment electrochemical cell fitted with graphite electrodes at Room Temperature. The maximum conversion of 4 – Nitro Toluene is above 95% and the selectivity is observed as above 95%. The effects of different electrode, solvent, and current density are studied and reported.
