Diiodomethane → 4-Bromo-1-chloro-2-(4-(cyclopropoxymethyl)benzyl)benzene

To a stirred mixture of 4-bromo-1-chloro-2-(4-(vinyloxymethyl)benzyl)benzene (0.7 g, 2.07 mmol) and Et2Zn (5.18 mL, 5.18 mmol, 1.0 M in hexane) in dry ethyl ether (10 mL) was added diiodomethane (0.42 mL, 5.18 mmol) dropwise during 20 min at room temperature under argon. After stirring overnight, the reaction mixture was poured slowly into ice cold dilute hydrochloride solution with stirring. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (20 mL) and then with brine (20 mL), and then dried over sodium sulfate. The residue was concentrated and purified by column chromatography (eluent EA:PE=1:200) to obtain intermediate CV (0.6 g) as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 7.33˜7.24 (m, 5H), 7.18 (d, 2H), 4.55 (s, 2H), 4.07 (s, 2H), 3.40˜3.37 (m, 1H), 0.69˜0.49 (m, 4H).
