2-(3-Benzyloxy-5-bromophenyl)malonic acid tert-butyl ester ethyl ester (7.2 g, contains 1.4 equivalent malonic acid tert-butyl ester ethyl ester, 10 mmol) was dissolved in glacial AcOH (50 mL) and heated to reflux for 12 h. The AcOH was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was poured into Na2CO3 solution (sat aq) and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (×3). The combined organic extracts were washed with water, brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give (3-benzyloxy-5-bromo-phenyl-)acetic acid ethyl ester as a yellow liquid yield 6.8 g (97%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.44-7.30 (m, 5H), 7.07-7.03 (m, 2H), 6.87-6.84 (m, 1H), 5.03 (s, 2H), 4.15 (q, 2H), 3.54 (s, 2H), 1.26 (t, 3H).
