Procedure
1,3-Dimethoxy-2-(iso-butyl)benzene (11.3 g) was dissolved in acetic acid (250 ml) and 48% hydrobromic acid (150 ml). The resultant solution was heated to reflux for 2 days, cooled, and ether and water added. The ether layer was washed with brine (2×), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to dryness. The concentrate was chromatographed by HPLC (column eluted with a gradient of 1 to 10% ethyl acetate in hexane) to yield 3.87 g of the title product.
