Conditions

Temperature
90 °C

Procedure

4-Isobutyl-benzene-1,3-diol (1 eq) was taken up in BF3.OEt2 (6 eq) and acetic acid (2 eq) was added. The solution was heated for 16 hours at 90° C. than allowed to cool to room temperature. The solution was added drop wise to 10% NaOAc (aq) and allowed to stand for 4 hours, before being extracted twice with diethyl ether. The organic phases were combined and washed with sat. NaHCO3 (aq), then dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give 1-(2,4-dihydroxy-5-isobutyl-phenyl)-ethanone, which was used without additional purification.
