Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A stirred mixture of 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxyacetophenone (3.0 g, 10.1 mmol), K2CO3 (2.8 g, 20.3 mmol), 1,3-dibromo-propane (4.0 g, 19.8 mmol) in acetonitrile (100 ml) was heated at reflux for 5 hours. The solvent was removed. The crude product was extracted into dichloromethane (150 ml) and the insoluble inorganics were filtered off. The solution was concentrated to dryness again. Purification was carried out by flash chromatography on silica gel (45 g, SiO2 ; eluted with 1:1 hexane:dichloromethane). The material thus obtained (2.8 g) was recrystallized twice from isopropyl ether to give analytically pure 1-[4-(3-bromopropoxy)-3,5-dibromo-phenyl]ethanone, m.p.=87-88° C. was heated at reflux for 5 hours The solvent was removed The crude product was extracted into dichloromethane (150 ml) the insoluble inorganics were filtered off The solution was concentrated to dryness again Purification The material thus obtained (2.8 g) was recrystallized twice from isopropyl ether

Procedure: In 5 ml of acetic anhydride was dissolved 5.0 g of 2,6-dibromophenol and, one drop of conc. sulfuric acid was added to the solution. While sometimes manually shaking, the mixture was stirred. When generation of heat stopped, the solution was poured onto 50 ml of ice water and the precipitated crystals of acetic acid-2,6-dibromophenyl were taken by filtration. The crystals were washed with chilled water and dried under reduced pressure. Next, this acetic acid-2,6-dibromophenyl was dissolved in 20 ml of nitrobenzene and 4.0 g of powdery aluminum chloride was gradually added to the solution. The reaction was carried out at 60° to 70° C. for 50 hours to effect Fries rearrangement. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was poured onto 100 ml of cold dil. hydrochloric acid. After allowing to stand at 5° C. overnight, the precipitated crystals were taken out by filtration, washed with n-hexane and dried under reduced pressure to give 3.87 g of 2,6-dibromo-4-acetylphenol as crude crystals. The crystals were recrystallized from hot ethyl acetate to give 2.42 g of pure 2,6-dibromo-4-acetylphenol as light brown crystals. 2,6-Dibromo-4-acetylphenol (3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxyacetophenone): C8H6Br2O2 was added to the solution the mixture was stirred When generation of heat the precipitated crystals of acetic acid-2,6-dibromophenyl were taken by filtration The crystals were washed with chilled water dried under reduced pressure Next, this acetic acid-2,6-dibromophenyl was dissolved in 20 ml of nitrobenzene 4.0 g of powdery aluminum chloride was gradually added to the solution After completion of the reaction to stand at 5° C. overnight the precipitated crystals were taken out by filtration washed with n-hexane dried under reduced pressure
