Procedure

To a solution of 5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (7.63 g) in dimethylformamide (40 ml) was added anhydrous potassium carbonate (15.7 g) followed by 1-bromo-2-methylpropane (6.2 ml). The resulting mixture was heated to 70° C. for 18 h. The mixture was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with 2N sodium hydroxide, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to give an oil which was purified by column chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate/iso-hexane (10:90) to give 5-bromo-2-isobutoxybenzaldehyde (9.52 g) as an oil.
