Procedure
A solution of 4-bromo-2-cyclopentyloxy-1-(methylthio)benzene (13.2 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) under nitrogen is treated at −70° C. with a solution of butyllithium in hexane (20.24 mL; 2.5 M) and the resulting solution is stirred for 1 hour at this temperature. It is then treated with dimethylformamide (7.12 mL), followed by boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (11.32 mL), keeping the temperature at −65° C. When the addition is complete the reaction mixture is allowed to warm to room temperature and is then poured into ice-water (450 ml,) and extracted with dichloromethane (3×400 mL). The combined extracts are dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give an oil, which is subjected to flash chromatography, eluting with a mixture of dichloromethane and cyclohexane (3:7 v/v), to give 3-cyclopentyloxy-4-(methylthio)-benzaldehyde (6.2 g). [NMR(DMSO): 9.91(S,1H),7.53(dd,1H),7.36(d,1H), 7.33(d,1H),5.01 (m,1H),2.44(s,3H),2.0-1.5(m,8H)].
