The mixture was stirred 20 minutes and then 1-(bromomethyl)-2-iodobenzene (58 g) was added. The mixture was warmed to 60° C. for 16 h. Additional sodium hydride (2 g) was added and the reaction mixture heated for an additional 3 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and carefully quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×250 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried (Mg SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to an oil, which was triturated with cold hexane to provide a solid which was collected by filtration to yield 59.1 g (94%) of the title compound of Step B as a white solid, mp 106°-108° C.
