Procedure

To a solution of trifluoroacetic acid (50 ml) and 2-isopropylbenzaldehyde (2.0 g, 13.5 mmol) was added conc. sulphuric acid (98%) (10 ml) at room temperature, followed by N-bromosuccinamide (NBS, 3.6 g 20.2 mmol) in portions. After 2 hrs, the mixture was poured into ice water and extracted with dichloromethane (3×30 mL). The organic layers were combined and neutralized with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, washed with brine (30 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography to furnish 5-bromo-2-isopropylbenzaldehyde (1.80 g).
