Procedure
To a solution of 3-(4-isopropylphenyl)-2-methyl-2-propen-1-ol synthesized in Reference Example 103 (6.30 g, 33.1 mmol) in isopropyl ether (50 mL) was added phosphorus tribromide (5.98 g, 22.1 mmol) with ice-cooling and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Water was added to the reaction solution and the mixture was extracted with isopropyl ether. The organic layer was washed with water and a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and then concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the oily title compound 7.63 g (yield 91%)
