To a solution of methyl 5-bromo-2,4-dimethoxy-benzoate (5.137 g, 22.05 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (60 mL) cooled to 0° C. was added lithium aluminum hydride (863 mg, 22.05 mmol) in several portions. At the end of addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 15 min before the icebath was removed. The reaction was continued at room temperature for 48 h. It was cooled to 0° C. and water (˜5 mL) was carefully added to quench the excess lithium aluminum hydride. Sodium hydroxide (5% solution, 20 mL) was then added and the layers were separated after 2 h of stirring. The product was extracted with diethyl ether (2×100 mL). The organic layers were washed with sodium bicarbonate solution (1×10 mL), brine (1×10 mL) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solid was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the crude residue by flash chromatography (Biotage system, KP-Sil™ 32-63 μm, 60 Å silica gel) eluting with 40% ethyl acetate in hexanes yielded (5-bromo-2,4-dimethoxy-phenyl)-methanol as off-white solids (3.743 g, 81%).
