2-Bromo-5-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzenemethanol [1] (38.8 g, 166 mmol) in dry chloroform (200 mL) was treated with thionyl chloride (200 mL, 2.76 mol) at 0 °C and stirred for 3 h at ambient temperature. The solvent was removed in vacuo, the residue was dissolved in Et2O and washed with water (3 x 100 mL), satd. NaHCO3 (4 x 150 mL) and brine (200 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with iPr2O (2 x 50 mL). Yield: colorless crystals (38.8 g, 93%), mp. 112 – 115 °C.
TLC: petroleum ether : EtOAc = 90 : 10, Rf = 0.5.
