[CH:1]([C:4]1[CH:9]=[C:8]([CH:10]([CH3:12])[CH3:11])[CH:7]=[CH:6][C:5]=1[OH:13])([CH3:3])[CH3:2].[Br:14]Br>C(O)(=O)C>[Br:14][C:6]1[CH:7]=[C:8]([CH:10]([CH3:12])[CH3:11])[CH:9]=[C:4]([CH:1]([CH3:3])[CH3:2])[C:5]=1[OH:13]To a solution of 2,4-diisopropyl-phenol (Intermediate 1, 10.0 g, 56 mmol) in acetic acid (20 mL) was added bromine (3.5 mL, 67 mmol) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 15 min, quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed successively with NaOH (4M, 85 mL), NaHSO3, and brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (hexanes) to yield the title compound as a light yellow oil (14.5 g, 100%).
