Procedure

Methyl salicylate (149 g) was dissolved in acetic acid (900 mL), and bromine (50 mL) was added thereto. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 21 hr. Water (10 L) was added to the reaction mixture, and the precipitated solid was collected by filtration, which was then recrystallized from methanol to give methyl 5-bromosalicylate (175 g) as white crystals.
