Procedure: Methyl 3-bromo-5-(hydroxymethyl)benzoate (2.0 g, 8.2 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (4.28 g, 16.3 mmol) were combined in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) and cooled to 0° C. N-Bromosuccinimide (3.05 g, 17.1 mmol) was introduced in portions and the reaction allowed to warm to room temperature. After 16 h, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with concentrated sodium bicarbonate (2×), then brine (2×), dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated. Column chromatography on silica gel (10% ethylacete/hexanes) gave 2.1 g (83%) as a light brown oil. 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 8.07 (s, 1H), 7.96 (s, 1H), 7.70 (s, 1H), 4.42 (s, 2H), 3.90 (s, 3H).

Procedure: To a stirred solution of methyl 3-bromo-5-(hydroxymethyl)benzoate (4.53 g, 18.5 mmol) in dioxane (74 mL) is added cesium carbonate (6.0 g, 18.5 mmol), potassium carbonate (5.1 g, 37 mmol), and palladium(0) tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) (2.1 g, 1.85 mmol), followed by trimethyl boroxine (5.1 mL, 37 mmol). The reaction mixture is refluxed for 12 h, cooled to room temperature, and then partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed with water and brine, dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The black oil is adsorbed onto silica gel followed by purification by flash column chromatography (silica, 25% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to provide the title compound. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.75 (s, 1H), 7.65 (s, 1H), 7.39 (s, 1H), 5.31 (br s, 1H), 4.53 (s, 1H), 3.84 (s, 3H), 2.36 (s, 3H).

Procedure: To a solution of methyl 3-bromo-5-(hydroxymethyl)benzoate (4.1 g, 16.8 mmol) in anhydrous methylene chloride (35 mL) at −30° C. is added methanesulfonyl chloride (1.82 mL, 23.5 mmol) followed by triethylamine (4.7 mL, 33.6 mmol). The reaction mixture is stirred for 45 min at 0° C., and then filtered. The filtrate is added to N-methylbutylamine (6 mL, 50.4 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The solution is concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue is purified by flash column chromatography (silica, 8% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give the title compound.
