Acetic Acid → Ethyl 3-bromo-6-hydroxy-2-methylbenzoate

참여 물질

반응 단계

A mixture of bromine (5.05 ml, 0.099 mol) and acetic acid (15 ml) is added to a mixture of ethyl 6-methyl-2-hydroxybenzoate (17.05 g, 0.095 mol), and acetic acid (15 ml) at a temperature of 20° C. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture is diluted with water and ethyl acetate. The organic phase is washed with water twice, concentrated in vacuo and the residue is purified by flash chromatography (petrol ethers:ethyl acetate, 98:2 v/v) yielding the pure product as a yellow oil, 21.7 g, (88.2%).
