General description

4-Bromo-2-methylanisole can be prepared by the bromination of o-methylanisole (2-methylanisole). It can also be prepared via reaction between 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tribromide [(Bmim)Br3] and an activated aromatic compound. It participates as a substrate for the a-arylation of sulphonamide in a study.

Application

4-Bromo-2-methylanisole may be used in the synthesis of 4-isopropyl-2-methylphenol and 4-methoxy-3-methylphenol.

Aromatic bisabolene derivatives were prepared by two methods involving cross-coupling of organozinc reagents. The first synthesis of (+/-)-glandulone A (10), as well as syntheses of (+/-)-curcuhydroquinone (8) and (+/-)-curcuquinone (9), were accomplished via coupling of a secondary alkyl zinc reagent
