Procedure

A solution of 2,5-dimethylbenzoic acid (20 g, 133 mmol) in 100 mL of conc. sulfuric acid was cooled to 0° C., and then N-bromosuccinimide (24 g, 139 mmol) was added. The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 hours. The mixture was poured onto ice/water, extracted with EtOAc, washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography to afford 3-bromo-2,5-dimethylbenzoic acid.
