Methyl bromo(4-methoxyphenyl)acetate; A mixture of 13.4 g (74.4 mmol) of methyl (4-methoxyphenyl)acetate, 13.9 g (78.1 mmol) of Lambda/-bromosuccinimide and a catalytic amount of AIBN in tetrachloromethane (120 ml) was heated under reflux with stirring for 2 h. The cooled reaction solution was filtered and the solvent was removed in vacuo. Yield: 18.98 g (98%) of yellow oil1H-NMR (CDCI3): 3.78 (s, 3H), 3.81 (s, 3H), 5.35 (s, 1 H), 6.88 (d, 8.7 Hz, 2H), 7.48(d. 8.7 Hz, 2H).MS (API-ES,pos) m/z = 179 [M+H-Br]+
