A convenient one-pot methodology for the preparation of 3-alkoxy-2-bromopropanoic esters from alkyl acrylates is described. The use of stoichiometric amounts of alkyl acrylate, alcohol and mercury trifluoroacetate in THF makes this procedure versatile and attractive to achieve building blocks for the synthesis of targeted contrast agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
