Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1-(2-ethoxyethoxy)-2,3,5-trimethylbenzene (1.0 g, 4.08 mmol), pyridine (0.097 mL, 1.20 mmol) and dichloromethane (10 mL) was added a solution of bromine (0.66 g, 4.12 mmol) in dichloromethane (1 mL) under stirring at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was washed successively with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=49/1-hexane/ethyl acetate=4/1) to give the title compound (1.2 g, yield 99%) as a colorless oil.
