Procedure
To a solution of 5.91 g (38.8 mmol) of 2 [3-(methoxymethyl)phenyl]methanol in 75 mL of Et2O are added dropwise, at 0° C., 9.1 mL (97.1 mmol) of phosphorus tribromide. The reaction mixture is allowed to warm slowly to room temperature and stirring is continued for 4 hours. The crude reaction mixture is then poured cautiously into a mixture of 100 g of ice and 100 mL of MeOH. After evaporating off the MeOH under reduced pressure, the aqueous phase is extracted with DCM (2×200 mL). The organic phases are combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained is purified by chromatography on a column of silica gel, eluting with a cyclohexane/EtOAc gradient of 0 to 20% EtOAc. 3.25 g of 1-(bromomethyl)-3-(methoxymethyl)benzene are thus obtained in the form of an oil.
