Procedure

Anhydrous aluminum chloride (84 g, 0.486 mol) is suspended in methylene chloride (1200 mL), and then acetyl chloride (49.2 g, 0.629 mol) is added while stirring and cooling on ice. The mixture is stirred for 20 minutes while cooling on ice and 4-bromophenol (98 g, 0.57 mol) is added. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 h, and then ice water is added and extraction is performed with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed with brine and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After distilling off the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography to yield acetic acid 4-bromo-phenyl ester (104 g, 85%).
