A mild and regioselective bromination of phenols with the cheap and easily-available HBr is developed. By replacing the common used dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) with sulfoxides bearing sterically hindered substituents, the desired brominated phenols could be obtained in moderate to high yields with up to 99/1 regioselectivity. This method could be easily scaled up to 50 mmol scale and has the potential to isolate the desired product by simple extraction and recrystallization, showing great practicality of this new method.

Key words: phenol, regioselective bromation, HBr, sulfoxide, steric hindrance effect

[11]	Chauhan and coworkers reported a regioselective bromination of phenol with HBr at room temperature. The target 4-bromophenol could be obtained in 89% yield, but no experimental details could be found in the literature, see: Srivastava, S. K.; Chauhan P. M. S.; Bhaduri, A. P. Chem. Commun.1996, 2679 for details. We attempted for some times, but the target 3a was obtained only in low yield by using DMSO as a solvent at room temperature.
[12]	Our experimental results are consistent with Jiao’s observation, ie the use of stoichiometric DMSO as the oxidant instead of as the solvent can greatly improve the reaction efficiency and selectivity, see Ref. [8].
