C[O:2][C:3](=O)[C:4]1[CH:9]=[C:8]([Br:10])[CH:7]=[C:6]([I:11])[CH:5]=1.[H-].C([Al+]CC(C)C)C(C)C.Cl>C(Cl)Cl>[Br:10][C:8]1[CH:7]=[C:6]([I:11])[CH:5]=[C:4]([CH:9]=1)[CH2:3][OH:2]To methyl 5-bromo-3-iodobenzoate (Step A above) (5.01 g, 0.015 mole) in anhydrous methylene chloride (100 mL) at -78° C., was added dropwise minutes, diisobutylaluminum hydride (5.50 mL, 0.03 mole). The mixture was stirred for 1 hour then allowed to warm to 0° C. The reaction solution was poured into 600 mL, chilled 3N HCl and extracted 3× with methylene chloride (150 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under vacuum to yield 5-bromo-3-iodobenzyl alcohol (4.54 g) as a white solid. MP=110-112° C. MS and NMR were consistent with the desired structure.
