Procedure

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, bromoethanol (29 mmols) was dissolved in 25 mL ether. Pyridine (34 mmols) was added to the solution, followed by a solution of 4-nitrobenzoyl chloride (27 mmols) in 35 mL ether. The reaction was stirred overnight, and a white precipitate was formed. Ether (50 mL) was added, and the reaction mixture was then washed with aqueous KHSO4, aqueous NaHCO3, and water. The ether layer was then dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to give 6.3 g of 4-nitrobenzoic acid 2-bromo-ethyl ester. Material was used in coupling reactions without further purification.
