After cooling the reaction mixture to 40° C., thereto were added 140 mL of hydrochloric acid and 600 mL of toluene, which was then heated to 80° C. The organic layer was separated and slowly cooled to 5° C. After stirring at the same temperature for 1 hour, the crystals precipitate was collected by filtration to provide 243 g of (4-bromophenylthio)acetic acid as white solid form.
