Hydrogen chloride (4 M in 1,4-dioxane) (3 mL, 18 mmol) was added to an ambient temperature solution of 4-bromomandelic acid (5 g, 21.6 mmol) in methanol (50 mL). After stirring at ambient temperature overnight, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to afford methyl (4-bromophenyl)(hydroxy)acetate which was used in the subsequent step without further purification.
