The reaction was allowed to reach 0° C. and was stirred for 3 hours, then quenched by addition of buffer pH=2 KHSO4/Na2SO4 (10%) at 0° C. The mixture was extracted 3 times with EtOAc and the combined extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified via flash chromatography (hexane/EtOAc, 8/2) to afford 4-(4-benzenesulfonyl-2-bromo-phenyl)-1-trimethylsilanyl-butan-2-ol (4.60 g, 77% yield).
