Abstract

PURPOSE:To readily brominate a methyl group bonded to an aromatic nucleus, especially the methyl group bonded to an aromatic nucleus having an electron attracting group, at a low temperature in a good yield by reacting the methyl group bonded to the aromatic nucleus with a brominating agent in the presence of hydrogen peroxide when the raw material is brominated. CONSTITUTION:An aromatic compound having a methyl group bonded to the aromatic nucleus, preferably an aromatic compound having the methyl group and further at least one electron attracting group selected from NO2, halogen, CN, COOH and alkoxycarbonyl groups which are bonded to the aromatic nucleus, especially methyl benzene, is reacted with a brominating agent preferably bromine or hydrobromic acid, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, if necessary, in an inert solvent to profitably brominate the methyl group. Since a by-product produced by the method is only water and the bromine atom of the brominating agent can be wholly reacted with the methyl group, the method does not require to capture hydrogen brominate by-produced by conventional methods and requires to use only a half of the brominating agent.

As mentioned above, bromination of the methyl group of a methylated aromatic compound having an electron-withdrawing group is extremely difficult and requires high temperatures, light irradiation, and even expensive radical generators such as organic peroxides. It is being done. It is known that when a bromine radical is generated and a methyl group bonded to an aromatic nucleus is brominated by such a method, the reaction is significantly inhibited by oxygen and generated hydrogen bromide. Furthermore, at low reaction temperatures, the rate of substitution of methyl groups by bromine radicals is low and the progress of one reaction is significantly slowed down.
