To a solution of 4-bromo-2-methylbenzaldehyde (1.5 g, 7.5 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was added TMSCF3 (2.2 g, 15.5 mmol) at 0° C. and then TBAF (1.1 mL, 1.0 M in THF). The mixture was stirred at RT for 1 h, then diluted with HCl (3.0 M, 10 mL), stirred at RT for 1 h and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by normal phase silica gel column provided 1-(4-bromo-2-methylphenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol as an off-white solid.
