Procedure

Tetrabutylammonium tribromide (20.4 g, 41.5 mmol) was added to a solution of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-methylbutan-2-one (9.60 g, 41.5 mmol) in MeOH-DCM (160 mL, 1:2, v/v). After stirring 24 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and then combined with EtOAc (80 mL). The organic layer was washed with H2O (50 mL), 1N HCl (50 mL), and H2O (20 mL) successively. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated. Purification by column chromatography afforded 1-bromo-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-methylbutan-2-one (11.8 g, 91%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.45 (d, 1H), 7.38 (d, 1H), 7.08 (d, 1H), 3.86 (s, 2H), 1.56 (s, 6H).
