Procedure: 5-Bromo-2-iodobenzoic acid (100 g, 0.306 mol) is dissolved in THF (350 mL) and cooled in an ice bath. Borane-THF complex (460 mL of 1 M in THF, 0.460 mol) is added dropwise. After addition is complete, the reaction is warmed to room temp and stirred for 14 hours. The mixture is transferred a large erlenmeyer flask (4 L), cooled in an ice bath and carefully quenched with water (250 mL). Evaporation of the THF by rotary evaporator gives a white suspension which is treated with additional water (1 L) and then filtered and dried in a vacuum dessicator over P2O5 to give 5-bromo-2-iodobenzyl alcohol. cooled in an ice bath After addition cooled in an ice bath carefully quenched with water (250 mL) Evaporation of the THF by rotary evaporator gives a white suspension which filtered dried in a vacuum dessicator over P2O5
