Procedure

A solution of methyl 4-(bromomethyl)benzoate (12.5 g, 54.6 mmol) in triethyl phosphite (20 mL, 114 mmol) was heated at 150° C. for 2 hours. After cooling, the solution was concentrated under vacuum. Purification by chromatography (silica gel, 0-2% methanol in dichloromethane) afforded the title compound. MS (ESI) m/z 287 (M+H)+.
