Procedure: To a solution of 1-(4-bromo-2-hydroxy-phenyl)-propan-1-one (20.0 g, 87.3 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 mL) was added triethylamine (24.3 mL, 174 mmol). The resulting solution was cooled to 0° C. and methanesulfonyl chloride (8.10 mL, 105 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction was stirred for 30 minutes, poured into 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid (100 mL) and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (50 mL), the organic layers were combined, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to an oil which crystallized upon standing. The solid was recrystallized from a 60/40 mixture of ethanol and water (40 mL) to provide methanesulfonic acid 5-bromo-2-propionyl-phenyl ester (21.8 g, 81% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.17 (t, 3, J=7.3), 2.90 (q, 2, J=7.3), 3.24 (s, 3), 7.51-7.56 (m, 2), 7.59 (d, 1, J=1.3). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.04, 35.45, 38.51, 128.18, 127.08, 130.60, 130.69, 131.82, 146.15, 200.30.
