反応手順

Conventionally, it is known that selective bromination of aromatic compounds having an electron-attracting group is very difficult. As techniques related to such a reaction, it is known, for example as a method for preparing dialkyl 5-bromoisophtalate a method comprising brominating dimethyl isophthalate with bromine at the presence of bromine trifluoride (BrF3) to give dimethyl 5-bromoisophtalate in a 55% yield (J. Org. Chem., 58, 239 (1993)). This method, however, uses bromine trifluoride that is expensive and intractable, and leads an aimed product in a low yield. Therefore, the above-mentioned method is not practical.
