(RS)-1-(3-Bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-1-(4-methoxy-3-methylphenyl)ethanol Magnesium turnings (981 mg) and a crystal of iodine were suspended in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) at room temperature. To this was added ~5 mL of a solution of 4-bromo-2-methylanisole (7.1 g) in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL). The mixture was then heated at reflux until initiation (colour change from brown to colourless ~15-30 min) after which time the heat was removed. The remaining 4-bromo-2-methylanisole solution was added dropwise to maintain a gentle reflux and the resultant mixture was then heated at reflux for 2 h. Upon cooling to room temperature, a solution of 1-(3-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-ethanone (7.3 g) in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) was added dropwise, again maintaining a gentle reflux and this was then heated at reflux for 2 h before being allowed to cool to room temperature. The mixture was then poured onto ice-water (400 mL) and the solvent removed by evaporation. The product was extracted with ethyl acetate (3*100 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent removed by evaporation to yield a yellow oil. Purification by flash chromatography on silica (20:1-5:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate) yielded (R,S)-1-(3-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-1-(4-methoxy-3-methylphenyl)ethanol as a yellow oil (6.37 g, 56%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): 1.94 (3H, s, ArCH3), 2.17 (3H, s, ArCH3), 3.80 (3H, s, ArOCH3), 6.75 (1H, d, Ar), 7.00-7.16 (3H, m, Ar), 7.47 (1H, t, Ar), 7.63 (1H, t, Ar).
