HCID 124220982-Benzyl benzylbromideYield 98%

Procedure

2-Benzylbenzyl alcohol (commercial) (1 g) was suspended in 48% aqueous hydrobromic acid (10 ml) and stirred vigorously for 20 hours. The resultant suspended solid was extracted twice with hexane and the extracts dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to give 2-benzyl benzylbromide as yellow solid (1.3 g, 98%).
