Generally, in order to bromine active aromatic nuclei, in addition to water, acetic acid, etc., chloroform, chlorinated hydrocarbons such as carbon tetrachloride, and inert aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene are used as solvents. The solution is selected and used depending on the properties of the reactants, reaction conditions, etc., and bromination is carried out by exposing this solution to bromine, but it is difficult to selectively bromine using conventional methods. Among several conventionally known methods for obtaining 6-bromthymol by reacting bromine with thymol, the method using an equivalent amount of bromine in acetic acid (Plancer, Gazzetta Chimica
Italiana, 23 , 76; Cross et al., J.Am.
Pharm.Assoc., 44 , 637 (1955)) does not perform a selective monobromination reaction, but also generates a dibrome compound, which requires a separation operation for both, and the yield is low. In this method, the action of two equivalents of bromine on thymol produces 2,6-dibromthymol (Jost et al., Ber., 56 , 122). Buzas
In the method of Bull. Soc. Chim. However, in this case as well, since thymol is added to excess bromine, the by-product of dibrome compounds cannot be avoided, and therefore the yield of the target 6-bromothymol is low.

The present inventors investigated ways to simplify the reaction operation and improve the yield of the target product in the method for obtaining 6-bromothymol described above, and as a result, the inventors decided to cause bromine to act on thymol in the coexistence of tetrahydrofuran. Thus, we succeeded in obtaining 6-bromthymol. That is, thymol is dissolved in a water-insoluble solvent that does not react with bromine, such as benzene, chloroform, or ethylene dichloride, and 1 to 10 times the molar amount of tetrahydrofuran is added to this solution. In order to capture hydrogen bromide generated as bromination progresses in the reaction system and to improve the efficiency of the washing process after the reaction, the amount of tetrahydrofuran to be added is 3 to 5 ml based on thymol. Double molar amounts are preferred. When bromine alone or a bromine solution dissolved in the same solvent used to dissolve thymol is added dropwise to this mixture at a temperature of -5 to 10°C, bromination is completed in a short time. By-product hydrogen bromide can be removed by simply washing the reaction solution with water, but after washing the reaction solution with water, it is preferable to further wash with a weakly alkaline aqueous solution such as sodium bicarbonate. When the solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure, highly pure 6-bromothymol, which solidifies after cooling, is obtained in high yield. The 6-bromthymol obtained here is
The purity is such that it can be used as is for the next reaction, but if necessary, it can be purified by distillation under reduced pressure or by recrystallization from hexane. boiling point 114−116
°C/1.5 mmHg, melting point was 54-55 °C. It should be noted here that bromine forms an insoluble adduct in dioxane, but in tetrahydrofuran, the adduct formed is soluble in the solvent. Therefore, in this reaction, the same result can be obtained even if the required tetrahydrofuran is added in advance to the bromine to be added dropwise without coexisting with thymol.
