Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 25 g (0.11 mol) of 2-bromo-5-methoxybenzoic acid was dissolved in 100 mL of anhydrous THF. 140 mL (0.14 mol) of borane (1 M in THF) was added to this solution over a period of 1 hour. The reaction was allowed to stir and was carefully quenched with 1:1 THF: saturated K2CO3. Ether was added and the aqueous and organic layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extrated again with ether (2×100 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford 23.0 g (96%) of 2-bromo-5-methoxybenzyl alcohol (13).
