Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.537 g of 1-hydroxymethyl-2,4-dimethoxybenzene in 5 ml of ether is cooled to -10° C., under a nitrogen atmosphere, and a solution of 0.1 ml of phosphorus tribromide in 2 ml of ether is added dropwise. The 1-bromomethyl-2,4-dimethoxybenzene thus obtained is stored in solution at -30° C.
