To this cold solution, sodium hydride (0.575 g, 0.0239 mol) was added and the reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 hours. This solution was then treated with 2-(3-bromophenyl)-1,3-dioxolane (5 g, 1 equivalent) followed by CuI (8.3 g, 2 equivalents). The resulting suspension was heated in an oil-bath under nitrogen at 130–140° C. for 16 hours. It was then cooled to room temperature and diluted with an equal volume of chloroform. This suspension was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. A viscous brown oil was recovered which was suspended in xylenes (150 ml) wand evaporated to dryness. The residue was used as such for the next reaction. TLC (5% methanol in chloroform) showed clean conversion; Rf (product)=0.86.
