Procedure

To a stirred solution of 2-isopropylphenol (2.0 g) in acetic acid (20 mL) was added hydrobromic acid (48%, 10 mL) followed by dropwise addition of DMSO (10 mL). The mixture was stirred another 20 min and diluted with water, extracted with diethyl ether. The combined extract was washed with saturated NaHCO3, water, brine, dried and concentrated to give the product 4-bromo-2-isopropylphenol (2.2 g, HPLC purity 95%).
