3-Hydroxybenzaldehyde (5.00 g, 0.041 mol) was dissolved in anhydrous acetonitrile (130 mL) under argon atmosphere. Cesium carbonate (20.01 g, 0.061 mol) was added and the suspension stirred for 5 min. Benzyl bromide (11.69 mL, 0.102 mol) was then added and the solution heated at reflux for 16 h. The solution was concentrated on rotary evaporator, water was added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase was washed twice with water, once with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. Water was added and the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel with hexanes/EtOAc (80/20) to yield 3a as a white solid (8.59 g). 1H NMR delta (CDCl3) 5.13 (s, 2H, PhCH2O), 5.33 (s, 2H, COOCH2Ph), 7.35-7.50 (m, 9H, 2-CH, 4-CH, 5-CH, 6-CH and PhCH2O), 10.00 (s, 1H, PhCHO).

Triphenylphosphine (17.28 g, 0.066 mol) and carbon tetrabromide (21.85 g, 0.066 mol) were then added and the solution stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated.

In an ice cooled solution of 3-benzyloxy-phenylmethanol (2.14 g, 10 mmol) in Et2O (25 mL), PBr333 (1.41 mL, 15 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h and the reaction mixture was quenched by the addition of H2O (15 mL) in small portions at 0 °C. The aqueous phase was removed and the organic layer was washed with H2O, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated in vacuo. The product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel) using petroleum ether (bp 40-60 °C)-EtOAc, 7:3 as eluent. Yield 1.5 g (56percent); yellow oil.1H NMR (CDCl3) delta: 7.42-6.82(m, 9H, Ph), 5.06(s, 2H, OCH2Ph), 4.46(s, 2H, BrCH2Ph).13C NMR delta: 159.0, 139.2, 136.7, 129.8, 128.6, 128.0, 127.5, 121.5, 115.4, 114.9 70.0(OCH2Ph), 33.4(BrCH2Ph).Anal.
