Procedure: A suspension of 2-bromo-6-bromomethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (21.8 mmol), N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (43.6 mmol) and 35 g powdered 4 Å molecular sieves in 350 mL acetonitrile was stirred for 1.5 h at room temperature. The reaction was filtered through a bed of silica, and the filtrate was purified on silica. The reaction was filtered through a bed of silica the filtrate was purified on silica
