The resulting solution is warmed to room temperature before 1-(2-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (2) (9.50 g, 41.47 mmol) is added. The mixture is stirred at 36° C. for 29 h and at room temperature for 17 h, diluted with 0.5 M NaHSO3 (25 mL), and extracted with ether (100 mL and 70 mL). The aqueous layer is acidified with conc. HCl (30 mL) to give 6.56 g (68%) of 3 as a white solid, mp 195-197° C.
