To a solution of 4-bromo-1-chloro-2-(4-ethoxy-benzyl)-benzene (5.0 g, 15.35 mmol) in dichloromethane (20.0 mL) cooled to 0 degrees Celsius under nitrogen was added drop-wise over 30 minutes a 1M solution of boron tribromide in dichloromethane (17.0 mL, 17.0 mmol). After the addition was complete, the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature overnight (˜16 hours). The reaction was cooled to 0 degrees Celsius and quenched with an aqueous solution of 1N hydrochloric acid. The resulting mixture was stirred for 30 minutes and extracted using dichloromethane. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted two times with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The reaction was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel using the ISCO automated chromatography unit (120 g silica gel column) and eluting with a gradient of 0 to 100% ethyl acetate in heptane. 3.53 g of desired product obtained (77% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, METHANOL-d4) delta ppm 3.94 (s, 2 H), 6.70 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 2 H), 6.98 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2 H), 7.23-7.34 (m, 3 H).
