Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[3-(2-bromophenyl)propyl]benzoic acid (2.0 g) in a mixture of chloroform (50 ml) and ethanol (50 ml) was added dropwise, with stirring, concentrated sulphuric acid (98% w/v, 5.0 ml) and the resulting solution allowed to stand for 40 hours at 20° C. The solution was poured onto a stirred mixture of chloroform (100 ml) and saturated sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was separated, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate and evaporated to give ethyl 4-[3-(2-bromophenyl)propyl)benzoate (2.3 g).
