After 10 minutes at 40° C. the solution was cooled to room temperature, concentrated in vacuo and the residue triturated with methanol (25 ml). Filtration furnished an off-white solid (4.96 g, 63%), m.p. 112-4° C. EIMS (m/z): 264/262 (M+, 11%), 233/231 (M+ --CH3O, 11%) , 171/169 (M+ --CH2Br, base); 1HNMR (CDCl3) delta, 8.31 (1H, d, J=1.5 Hz), 8.17 (1H, d, J=1.5 Hz), 4.29 (2H, s), 3.90 (3H, s).
