I tried a lot to prepare Grignard reagent of 3-nitrobenzyl bromide but failed even i tried with freshly prepared THF using catalytic amount of iodine by slightly warm the reaction mixture. Even  I heated the reaction mixture for long time i only getting my staring material.However, reaction going smoothly with simple benzyl bromide.  Is there any trick to prepare or procedure for its synthesis?.

Thanks.
