The reaction mixture was cooled with ice-water and filtered through a pad of Celite. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a yellow oil. The oil was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate=20/1) to give the desired ethyl 2-(bromomethyl)benzoylformate (6.1 g, yield: 43%).
