Procedure

4-Acetylphenol (20 g) in ether (200 mL) was treated with bromine (6.8 mL) and stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours. The solution was poured into saturated sodium bicarbonate, stirred for 30 minutes and the organic layer separated. The organic portion was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to afford the title compound (30 g).
