3-Bromomethyl-5-methyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (LW003036B) and 3,5-Bis- bromomethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (LWO03036C); To a solution of methyl 3,5-dimethylbenzoate (15.0 g, 89.52 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (molecular sieves 4 A dried, 150 mL) was added finely powdered N- bromosuccinimide (16.1 g, 89.52 mmol) and benzoyl peroxide (> 97%, 200 mg). The light yellow suspension was then refluxed which turned into a light orange suspension after about 10 min. When the colour of the suspension returned to light yellow again about 45 min later, the reflux was terminated. After cooling to room temperature, the suspension was filtered and the filter cake collected was washed with ether (5 x 30 mL). The combined filtrates were evaporated to give a clear bright yellow liquid (22.9 g) which was fractionated by flash chromatography (silica: 700 g; eluent: ethyl acetate/hexane, 1 : 10 to 1 : 1). The second fraction that collected upon evaporation gave LW003036B as a translucent pale yellow oil (13.32 g, 54.79 mmol, 61%) whereas the third fraction gave LW003036C as white fluffy needle-shaped crystals (1.99 g, 3.08 mmol, 7%).

The light yellow suspension was then refluxed which turned into a light orange suspension after about one hour. When the colour of the suspension returned to light yellow again about 30 min later, the reflux was terminated. After cooling to room temperature, the suspension was filtered and the filter cake collected was washed with ether (5 x 30 mL). The combined filtrates were evaporated to give a clear bright yellow liquid (8.15 g) which was fractionated by flash chromatography (silica: 300 g; eluent: ethyl acetate/hexane, 1 : 10; flow rate: ca. 30 mL/min). The first fraction collected was the starting material (998 mg). The second and third fractions collected were respectively LW003015B as a translucent pale yellow oil (4.90 g, 20.16 mmol, 61%) and LW003015C as white fluffy needle-shaped crystals (990 mg, 3.08 mmol, 9%).
