Procedure

To a solution of {2-chloro-5-[(diethylamino)methyl]phenyl}methanol (3.0 g, 13.2 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (80 mL) was added dropwise phosphorus tribromide (2.5 mL, 26.4 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solvent was evaporated. The residue was dried in vacuo, affording {[3-(bromomethyl)-4-chlorophenyl]methyl}diethylamine. The product was used without further purification.
