Epibromohydrin (4.5 g, 33 mmol) was added quickly dropwise and the solution stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. The mixture was acidified to pH 1 with 2M hydrochloric acid and extracted with DCM (2×30 ml). The combined organic extracts were dried with sodium sulphate, filtered and the volatiles removed by evaporation. The resulting yellow oil was purified by chromatography on silica eluting with DCM/methanol (100:0) increasing in polarity to (99:1) to give the title compound as a pale yellow solid (2.5 g, 32%); NMR (CDCl3) 2.65 (m, 1H), 2.80 (t, 1H), 3.10 (m, 2H), 3.50 (m, 1H), 5.08 (brs, 1H), 8.08 (d, 2H), 8.38 (d, 2H); m/z: 257.
