To a solution of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol (2.06 g, 10 mmol) in EDC (50 mL) in a 200-mL round bottom flask, was added the stabilized BrCl brominating reagent (12 mL, about 11 mmol) dropwise, with stirring at room temperature. Initially, the orange reddish color of the reagent disappeared quickly. The color from the last 1 mL persisted for several minutes. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand for 30 minutes before being quenched with a few drops of sodium sulfite solution. After phase separation, it was diluted with EDC (50 mL), washed with water (100 mL) and dried (Na2SO4). The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a glue-like material. The material was redissolved in ether (10 mL) and after solvent removal, a crystalline solid 4-bromo-2,6-di-tert-butylphenol product (2.63 g, 92% recovered yield) was obtained in high purity (>98% by GC).
