Procedure: A mixture of 4-bromomethyl-benzoyl chloride (7.0 g, 30.24 mmol), polyvinyl pyridine (9.6 g, 90.7 mmol) and dimethyl amine (15.9 ml, 31.8 mmol, 2.0 M in THF) was stirred at 23° C. for 15 h. The solution was filtered and the solvent removed to give 7.3 g (99% yield) of 4-bromomethyl-N,N-dimethyl-benzamide as a yellow solid. The solution was filtered the solvent removed
