Reaction Steps

2.94 g of 5-isopropyl-1,3-benzodioxole was dissolved in 30 ml of carbon tetrachloride to obtain a solution. A solution of 3.15 g of bromine in 5 ml of carbon tetrachloride was dropwise added to the solution at a temperature of -5° to 5° C. The obtained mixture was stirred at 10° C. for 8.5 hours. Nitrogen gas was passed through the resulting mixture, followed by the addition of a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate and an aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate. The obtained mixture was extracted with chloroform and the organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of common salt, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to obtain 4.38 g of the title compound as a crude oil.
