Procedure

A solution of n-butyllithium (n-BuLi, 2.5 Molar (M) in hexanes; 900 microliters (μL), 2.2 millimoles (mmol), 1.1 equivalents (equiv)) was added to a stirred solution of 1,4-dibromo-2-fluorobenzene (500 milligrams (mg), 2.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in diethyl ether (Et2O; 10 milliliters (mL)) at −78° C. The resulting pale yellow solution was stirred at −78° C. for 2 hours (h). Chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSCl; 300 μL, 2.4 mmol, 1.2 equiv) was added, and the resulting pale yellow solution was allowed to slowly warm to 23° C., by allowing the dry ice/acetone bath to melt, and was stirred for 72 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (H2O; 50 mL) and was extracted with dichloromethane (CH2Cl2; 3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), gravity filtered, and concentrated by rotary evaporation to afford the title compound as a pale yellow oil (350 mg, 71%): IR (thin film) 3068 (w), 2955 (m), 2927 (m), 2855 (w), 1598 (w), 1567 (w) cm−1; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.38-7.49 (m, 3H), 0.30 (s, 9H).
