Procedure
To 2,4,6-trimethylphenylmagnesium bromide (1.0 M in THF, 10.0 mL, 10 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in THF (30 mL) at −78° C. was added nBu3SnCl (3.25 g, 10.0 mmol, 1.00 equiv). After stiffing for 1.0 hr at 23° C., the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by fractional distillation to afford 3.68 g of the title compound as a colorless oil (90% yield).
