The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hrs. The reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane and washed with 0.5N HCl three times followed by the addition of a saturated NaHCO3 solution and brine. The organic layer was separated, dried through a MgSO4 pad, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Chromatography (silica gel, 1:9 ethyl acetate/hexane) of the residue afforded 0.8 g (58%) of 3-Bromopropyl 2-(phenylmethoxy)benzoate.
