Procedure

4-Acetylbenzoic acid (186 mg, 1.14 mmol) was dissolved in warm acetic acid (5 mL) and treated with bromine (58 mL, 1.14 mmol). The solution was stirred overnight before being cooled on ice. The resulting solid was filtered, washed with 1:1 methanol/water (3×10 mL) and dried in vacuo to provide 4-(2-bromoacetyl)benzoic acid as a white solid (102 mg). 1H NMR (200 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.07 (s, 4H), 4.98 (s, 2H).
