The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 5 days and then recooled to 0° C. and crushed ice (200 g) added. The aqueous layer was extracted with ether (2×120 mL) and the combined organic extracts were then washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (2×30 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuum. Distillation afforded 2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethyl bromide as a colorless oil (14.08 g, 31%); b.p. 103° C. @12 mm Hg.
