284 mg (12.9 mmol, 3 eq) of lithium borohydride are added to a solution of 1.0 g (4.3 mmol, 1 eq) of methyl 3-methyl-4-bromobenzoate in 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture is stirred at 60° C. for 12 hours. The reaction medium is hydrolyzed with ammonium chloride solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases are combined, washed with sodium chloride solution and dried over sodium sulfate. 900 mg of (4-bromo-3-methylphenyl)methanol are obtained in oil form and used in the following reaction without further purification.
