Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(2-bromoethyl)-3-methoxybenzene (1.00 g, 4.7 mmol) in CHCl3 (50 mL, 0.6 mol) was cooled to at 0° C. 1.0 M of BBr3 in DCM (27.9 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and added to the solution. The solution was allowed to warm to 30° C. over 30 minutes, then was poured into a solution of ice and 30% NH4OH, which was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes. The organic layer was taken and concentrated with no reduced pressure.
