Procedure

To a solution of 2-methyl-3-(propan-2-yloxy)benzoic acid (Cpd NN, 1.08 g, 5.56 mmol) in AcOH (5 mL) was added Br2 (888 mg, 5.56 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum to give an oil. The crude oil was dissolved in MeOH (20 mL) then H2SO4 was added and the resulting mixture was heated at 65° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum and the residue dissolved in EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried with Na2SO4, and concentrated under vacuum to give 6-bromo-2-methyl-3-(propan-2-yloxy)benzoic acid (Cpd OO, 1.3 g, 86%) as an oil which solidified to a tan solid upon standing.
