The mixture was stirred until completely dissolved, and then slowly cannulated dropwise into a stirring solution of carbon tetrabromide (6.6 g, 20 mmol, 1.5 eq) in dichloromethane (20 ml). The mixture was stirred for one hour and the solvent was then evaporated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by silica gel chromatography using a 0-50% gradient of ethyl acetate/hexane. The desired product was obtained as a colorless oil. MS m/z 361.9/363.9 (M+1, Br79/Br81 isotope pattern).
