Procedure

To a solution of 2,4,5-trimethylbenzaldehyde (21.3 g, 144 mmol) in dichloromethane (200 mL) was added aluminum chloride (48.0 g, 360 mmol) with ice-cooling, and the mixture was warmed to room temperature. Bromine (7.80 mL, 151 mmol) was added dropwised to the reaction solution at room temperature, the mixture was stirred for 4 hours, water was added to the reaction solution, and dichloromethane was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic layer was washed with water, a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, 5% sodium sulfite aqueous solution, water and a saturated brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 32.5 g (yield 100%) of the title compound. Melting point: 108-110° C.
