Steps:

2-bromo-l-(4-bromo-3-methylphenyl)ethanone

In a two necked round bottom flask equipped with a reflux condenser under an argon atmosphere was added CuBr₂ (700 mg, 3.14 mmol) and EtOAc (8 mL). The suspension was stirred during 20 minutes. The 4-bromo-3- methylacetophenonone (335 mg, 1.57 mmol) pre-dissolved in EtOAc (8 mL) was added to the mixture and heated at 80°C during one hour. A new equivalent of CuBr₂ (330 mg, 1.57 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at 80°C overnight. The suspension was cooled down, filtered through a Celite pad and washed with EtOAc. The filtrate was washed with a saturated NaHCO₃ solution. The organic layer was dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered and evaporated under vacuum. Purification by silica gel flash chromatography (PE/EtOAc 6: 1) afforded the product (273 mg, 60%) as a white oil.
