4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde → 3-Bromo-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (10.0 g, 81.9 mmol) in chloroform (100 mL) was added with bromine (4.30 mL, 83.5 mmol), followed by stirring at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was added with water (100 mL), and the solvent of the organic layer was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain 3-bromo-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde as a pale yellow solid (quantitative yield).
