The resulting solution was stirred for 10 minutes at 0° before adding a solution of n-butyl lithium in hexane (95 ml, 1.6 M; 0.152 mole) dropwise. The resulting yellowish orange dianion solution was stirred for 10 minutes at 0° before adding α-bromo-m-xylene (34 g, 0.189 mole) in ether (20 ml) and allowed to warm to room temperature 30 minutes after completing the addition. The reaction mixture was quenched by addition of conc. HCl (25 ml) in H2O (60 ml) followed by ether (180 ml). The layers were separated and the aqueous further extracted with ether (3×125 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with water until the wash was neutral, then dried (anhydrous MgSO4) and evaporated to dryness. The resulting yellow oil was distilled under vacuum to give a pale yellow oil (22.0 g, 76%), b.p. 132°-139° at 0.19 mmHg, n.m.r. δ(CDCl3) 7.07 (4H, m), 4.25 (2H, q, J=7 Hz), 3.47 (2H, s), 2.95 (4H, s), 2.40 (3H, s) and 1.35 (3H, t, J=7 Hz).
