Summary 1. In the bromination of 2,6-dialkyl-4-(bromomethyl)phenols the aromatic system of bonds of the phenol rearranges into a cyclohexadienone system with formation of the corresponding quinobromides [2,6-dialkyl-4-bromo-4-(bromomethyl)-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-ones], whose hydrolysis gives 3,5-dialkyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehydes. 2. A method was developed for the preparation of 3,5-dialkyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehydes by the bromination of 2,6-dialkyl-p-cresols with free bromine in aqueous acetic acid.
