Procedure

To {2-chloro-6-[(diethylamino)methyl]phenyl}methanol (3.0 g, 13.2 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (80 mL) was added dropwise tribromophosphane (2.5 mL, 26.4 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was dried in vacuo, affording {[2-(bromomethyl)-3-chlorophenyl]methyl}diethylamine. The product was used without further purification.
