The resultant mixture was heated to reflux for 90 minutes then cooled to room temperature. The mixture was diluted with diethyl ether (50 mL), filtered through filter paper, and the filtrate was concentrated. Purification of the crude material by column chromatography (8:1 hexanes-EtOAc) provided 0.68 g (60%) of ethyl 6-(bromomethyl)-2-methoxybenzoate as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.42 (t, 3H, J=7.2 Hz), 3.84 (s, 3H), 4.45 (q, 2H, J=7.2 Hz), 4.50 (s, 2H), 6.89 (d, 1H, J=8.4 Hz), 7.01 (d, 1H, J=7.2 Hz), 7.34 (dd, 1H, J=7.2, 8.4 Hz).
