Reaction Steps

A solution of crude 4-methyl-2-phenylmethoxy-benzenemethanol (20 g, 87.6 mmol) in dry benzene (100 ml) was treated with 9.1 ml (96 mmol) PBr3 at room temperature and after being stirred for 10 min the mixture was treated with 50 ml 2N NaOH solution. The organic layer was separated and dried (Na2SO4) to give 1-bromomethyl-4-methyl-2-phenylmethoxybenzene (23.7 g, 93% crude yield) as an oil.
