Procedure

To a suspension of (3-bromo-4-hydroxy-phenyl)-acetic acid ethyl ester (0.100 g, 0.39 mmol) and cesium carbonate (0.376 g, 1.16 mmol) in MeCN was added benzyl bromide (0.06 mL, 0.46 mmol), and the reaction was stirred at room temperature until no starting material was seen by analytical tlc. The mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and H2O, and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to give the title compound.
