Contrary to literature reports, bromination of 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde can afford both 2-bromo-5-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 2-bromo-3-hydroxybenzaldehyde, but 4-bromo-3-hydroxybenzaldehyde was not detected. 2-Bromo-3-hydroxybenzaldehyde was converted into 2-(benzyloxy)-1-bromo-5-methoxy-7-methylnaphthalene. X-ray crystallographic analysis supports the identity of 2-bromo-3- hydroxybenzaldehyde.
