Procedure

A solution of 3.0 g (11.8 mmol) 4-bromo-1-methoxy-2-trifluoromethyl-benzene in 20 mL 1 M HBr in glacial acetic acid is stirred for 60 h at 90° C. The reaction solution is diluted with 300 mL water, adjusted to pH 7 with K2CO3. The aqueous phase is extracted with EtOAc, the combined organic extracts are with washed 40 mL quarter-saturated NaHCO3 solution and dried over MgSO4. The solvent is eliminated i.vac. and the product is further reacted without any more purification.
