Reaction Conditions:

Stage #1:6-bromoguaiacol with boron tribromide in dichloromethane at -78 - 20; for 1 h;
Stage #2: with water in dichloromethane for 0.5 h;Cooling with ice;

Steps:

4.2.17. 1-Bromo-2,3-dihydroxybenzene (3-bromocatechol)
To a cold (-78 °C) solution of 2-bromo-6-methoxyphenol (8.00 g, 39.4 mmol) in dry CH₂Cl₂ (40 mL) was added slowly BBr₃ (1 M in CH₂Cl₂, 43.1 mmol, 43.0 mL). After stirring at rt for 1 h, the mixture was poured onto ice-water, stirred for 30 min and extracted with CH₂Cl₂ (3×30 mL). The organic layer was dried (MgSO₄) then concentrated affording the title product as a brownish oil (6.90 g, 93%); R_f (toluene/EtOAc 9:1) 0.2; δ_H 5.60 (1H, br s, OH), 5.69 (1H, br s, OH), 6.72 (1H, dd, J 8.1, 8.1 Hz), 6.87 (1H, dd, J 1.5, 8.1 Hz), 7.00 (1H, dd, J 1.5, 8.1 Hz); δ_C 109.5, 114.9, 121.9, 123.3, 140.3, 144.5. ¹H NMR is in accordance with the literature data.²⁰
