Procedure

To a solution of (methylsulfinyl)(methylthio)methane (27.70 g, 223.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (90 mL) at −10° C. was added dropwise, a solution of 2.5M n-butyllithium in hexane (89.2 mL, 223 mmol). The mixture was stirred at −10° C. for 2 hours. It was then cooled to −78° C. and transferred by cannula in a slow manner to a solution of [2-bromo-1-(bromomethyl)ethoxy](tert-butyl)diphenylsilane (42 g, 93 mmol, from Step 1) in tetrahydrofuran (70 mL, 900 mmol) held at −78° C. The mixture was stirred with warming to room temperature over 2 nights. Water was added, and then the product was extracted with three portions of DCM. The combined extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Flash chromatography (eluting with a gradient from 0-100% ethyl acetate/hexanes) afforded desired product as a mixture of diastereomers (34.1 g, 88%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3), diastereomers: δ 7.74-7.58 (m, 8H), 7.48-7.31 (m, 10H), 4.52 (tt, 1H), 4.42 (tt, 1H), 3.05-1.99 (m, 8H), 2.47 (s, 3H), 2.42 (s, 3H), 2.13 (s, 3H), 2.00 (s, 3H), 1.05 (s, 9H), 1.02 (s, 9H).
