Procedure

in a similar manner to that hereinbefore described in Example 1 for the preparation of 3,4-dibromobenzyl alcohol but replacing the 3,4-dibromobenzoic acid by 3-bromo-4-methylbenzoic acid [described by Jannasch and Dieckmann, Ann., 171, 83 (1874)]; there was obtained 3-bromo-4-methylbenzyl alcohol as a clear orange oil of sufficient purity for subsequent reaction; and
