[CH2:1]([C:3]1[CH:10]=[CH:9][CH:8]=[CH:7][C:4]=1[CH:5]=[O:6])[CH3:2].[Al+3].[Cl-].[Cl-].[Cl-].[Br:15]Br>C(Cl)Cl>[Br:15][C:8]1[CH:9]=[CH:10][C:3]([CH2:1][CH3:2])=[C:4]([CH:7]=1)[CH:5]=[O:6]To a solution of 2-ethyl-benzaldehyde (5.00 g, 37.3 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (23 mL) was carefully added AlCl3 (8.70 g, 65.2 mmol). The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and a solution of bromine (1.9 mL, 37.2 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (23 mL) was added over 6 hours. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was poured onto an ice/water mixture and stirred for 10 minutes. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with 2 M HCl, saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (heptane/EtOAc) to afford INT 35.
