After being stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, the resulting mixture was filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by preparative HPLC (gradient elution with 50-80% 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in water in acetonitrile, 8 minutes) to afford (1-bromo-6-fluoro-4-hydroxy-naphthalen-2-yl)acetic acid methyl ester (200 mg, 64.4%) as a white solid.
