Procedure: To a suspension of EXAMPLE 1A (5 g, 17.1 mmol) in water (40 mL) was added powdered potassium hydroxide (1.92 g, 34.3 mmol), and the mixture was refluxed for 1 hour. After cooling, potassium bisulfate (2 g) was added, and the mixture extracted with ethyl acetate (150 mL). The organics were concentrated on a rotary evaporator and dried under vacuum to yield the title compound. MS (ESI) m/z 230 (M+H)+. the mixture was refluxed for 1 hour After cooling the mixture extracted with ethyl acetate (150 mL) The organics were concentrated on a rotary evaporator dried under vacuum

Procedure: To a suspension of 5-bromoisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (5 g, 23.5 mmol) in anhydrous carbon tetrachloride (50 mL) was added N-bromosuccinimide (4.18 g, 23.5 mmol) and a catalytic amount of benzoyl peroxide. The reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 2.5 hours. After cooling, the precipitated solid was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated on a rotary evaporator. The residual solid was partitioned between methylene chloride and water. The organic phase was washed with brine, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in hexanes to yield the title compound. MS (ESI) m/z 290 (M+H)+.

Procedure: The mixture of 3,5-dibromo-3H-isobenzofuran-1-one (B3) (38 g, 130 mmol) in a solution of 10N NaOH (28.6 mL, 286 mmol) and water (240 mL) is heated for 2 h at 80° C. Activated charcoal (2 g) is added and the mixture is refluxed for another 1 hour. Mixture is hot filtered and acidified with 2N methanesulfonic acid (100 mL). The resulting mixture is cooled in an ice-water bath for 1 h. The solid is filtered and washed with water (4×25 mL) and vacuum dried under KOH to yield 4-bromo-2-formyl-benzoic acid (C3) (26.5 g, 89%, mp: 202° C.).
