Then, a solution of 1-methoxy-3,5-dimethylbenzene (2.0 g, 14.7 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (2 mL) was added dropwise. The whole mixture was stirred for 1.5 h at 0 to 5° C. After that, the mixture was poured into ice water (100 g). The mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×30 mL). The combined organic phases were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. After filtration, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by silica gel column (hexane/EtOAc=40/1 to 25/1) to afford 2-bromo-1-(2-methoxy-4,6-dimethylphenyl)ethanone (1.20 g, 31.7%) and 2-bromo-1-(4-methoxy-2,6-dimethylphenyl) ethanone (250 mg, 6.6%).
