Procedure

To a stirred solution of N-hydroxyphthalimide (0.60 g, 3.68 mmol) and Et3N (0.60 mL, 4.30 mmol) in DMF (6 mL) was added α,α′-dibromo-o-xylene (3.30 g, 0.0125 mol) and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The resultant brown precipitate was filtered and washed with CH2Cl2. The filtrate was diluted with EtOAc (40 mL) and water (30 mL) and the organic phase washed with brine (1×30 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resultant yellow oil was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (4:1 Hexanes/EtOAc) to give the title compound (581 mg, 46%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 4.99 (s, 2H), 5.37 (s, 2H), 7.27–7.40 (m, 2H), 7.41–7.45 (m, 2H), 7.73–7.76 (m, 2H), 7.81–7.84 (m, 2H).
