Procedure

To a solution of 2-iso-propyl-3-methylanisole (0.44 g, 2.7 mmol) in CH2Cl2 at room temperature was added a solution of tetrabutylammonium tribromide (1.42 g, 2.94 mmol) in CH2Cl2. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with 5% ethyl acetate in hexanes to afford 4-bromo-2-iso-propyl-3-methylanisole as yellowish oil (0.60 g, 92%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 7.37 (d, J=13.2 Hz, 1H), 6.78 (d, J=13.2 Hz, 1H), 3.74 (s, 3H), 3.38 (m, 1H), 2.38 (s, 3H), 1.25 (d, J=10.8 Hz, 6H); TLC conditions: Uniplate silica gel, 250 microns; Mobile phase=ethyl acetate-hexanes (5:95); Rf=0.80.
