Participants

Reaction Steps

5-bromo-3-tert-butyl-2-methoxybenzaldehyde (28)—To a solution of 3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (CASRN 24623-65-2, 5.00 g) DCM (20 mL) at 0° C. was added dropwise a solution of Br2 (1.45 mL) in DCM (15 mL) over a period of 30 min. After the addition was complete the reaction was stirred for 1 h before the organic volatiles were removed under reduced pressure to afford 7.23 g of 5-bromo-3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (27) as a light yellowish solid.
