Participants

Reaction Steps

Following the method in Example 1, the crude 3-bromo-2-(2,3-dimethylphenoxy)-5-methyl-benzoic acid (16) was treated with sulfuric acid and recrystallized from EtOAc/MeOH to yield a light yellow solid, and the yield was 91%: Mp (EtOAc/MeOH) 236-238° C.; 1H-NMR [(CD3)2SO] δ 8.12 (s, 1H), 8.10 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 7.75 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 7.42 (s, 1H), 2.55 (s, 3H), 2.46 (s, 3H); 13C-NMR δ 171.6, 153.6, 152.1, 143.3, 136.9, 128.0, 125.6, 125.3, 124.5, 123.9, 120.2, 120.0, 119.7, 21.8, 20.3, 12.4.
