Procedure

Ethyl 2-(3-bromo-4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-methylpentanoate (16 g) was taken in acetic acid (100 ml) and to it added drop wise 70% nitric acid (10 ml) below 15° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h. After completion of the reaction; it was poured into 300 ml of ice water and extracted with ethyl acetate (300 ml×3). The ethyl acetate layer was washed with bicarbonate solution, water and finally brine solution. The organic layer was then distilled off and the crude residue was purified by column chromatography using Ethyl acetate:hexane (2:3) as eluent provided 12 g of 2-(3-bromo-4-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)-4-methylpentanoic acid. The acid was taken in 50 ml of absolute ethanol and 2 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid and refluxed for 1 h. The ethanol layer was distilled off, washed it with water and dried gave 13 g of ethyl 2-(3-bromo-4-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)-4-methylpentanoate intermediate. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 8.20 (s 1H), 7.20 (s, 1H), 4.90 (bs,1H),4.15 (q, 2H), 3.60 (t, 1H),1.95-2.00(m,1H), 1.75-1.80(m,1H), 1.45-1.50(m,1H), 1.20(t,3H), 1.00 (m,6H). Mass: (360, M+1, 100%).
