Reaction Steps

20.2 g (0.1 mol) of bromoacetyl bromide are dissolved in 100 ml of toluene, this solution is cooled to -10° C. (CaCl2 tube) and 8.7 g (0.11 mol) of pyridine are added dropwise at -10° C. Thereafter, 13.8 g (0.1 mol) of 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol, dissolved in 20 ml of toluene are added dropwise to this mixture in the course of 20 minutes at -10° C., and the mixture is allowed to react for 1 hour at this temperature.
