Procedure

3-Bromo-2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde (27 g, 134 mmol), prepared as described in N. Hofsloekken, L. Skatteboel, “Convenient Method for the ortho-Formulation of Phenols”, Acta Chemica Scandinavica, 1999, v. 53, p. 258-262), was dissolved in dimethylformamide (150 mL) and then cesium carbonate (54.7 g, 170 mmol) was added to the solution portionwise. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes and then methyl iodide (28.5 g, 201 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred for 20 hours and poured into water. The product was extracted with ethyl ether and the organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give 3-bromo-2-methoxybenzaldehyde (28 g).
