Hi,
I am primarily an inorganic chemist but would like to synthesise bromomethyl terephthalic acid (C9H7O4Br) which is benzene subsitituted with CO2H groups in the 1,4- positions and a CH2Br group on any of other the 4 equivalent positions. I cannot find a published procedure.
Suggestions for any synthetic routes that you can think of would be much appreciated.
Thanks,¨
Greig
