Reaktionsschritte

Methyl iodide (1.861 mL, 29.76 mmol) was added to a stirred suspension of 4-bromo-2,5-dichlorophenol (4.8 g, 19.84 mmol) and potassium carbonate (8.23 g, 59.53 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) at ambient temperature under air. The resulting suspension was stirred at 50° C. for 90 minutes. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool and diluted with EtOAc (200 mL), and washed sequentially with saturated brine (2×150 mL) and water (100 mL). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to afford crude product. The crude product was purified by flash silica chromatography, elution gradient 0 to 20% EtOAc in isohexane. Pure fractions were evaporated to dryness to afford 1-bromo-2,5-dichloro-4-methoxybenzene (3.82 g, 75%) as a brown solid.
