Do you need to proceed through the ethylbenzene? If you're looking to
make a substituted phenyl acetic acid, you could try starting with a
substituted styrene derivative. Treat the styrene to
hydroboration/oxidation conditions, then oxidize the resultant terminal
alkene with Jones reagent.

Just a thought,

Matt Orr
