Procedure

To a solution of ethyl 1-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)ethanesulfonate (0.458 g, 1.89 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (8 mL) was added N-bromosuccinimide (0.370 g, 2.08 mmol) and benzoyl chloride (0.009 g). The mixture was heated under reflux for 1.5 hours, cooled to rt, and filtered. The filtrate was washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and brine, dried, filtered and evaporated to give crude ethyl 1-methyl-1-(4-bromomethylphenyl)ethanesulfonate (0.64 g, 100%) which was used directly in the next reaction.
