Procedure

A solution of 5-bromo-2,4-dichloro-pyrimidine (1.0 g, 4.4 mmol, Aldrich) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL), cooled to −30° C., and treated slowly with isopropylmagnesium chloride (2.2 mL, 4.4 mmol, 2M in tetrahydrofuran, Aldrich). After stirring 0.5 hour between −30° C. and −25° C., the reaction was treated with a solution of 5-fluoro-benzofuran-7-carbaldehyde (0.65 g, 0.40 mmol, Step C) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL). The temperature was slowly raised to −10° C. and then the reaction was quenched with aqueous 20% ammonium chloride. After 0.5 hours of stirring at ambient temperature, the mixture was diluted with hexane (100 mL), washed with water and dried (Na2SO4). Removal of solvent afforded crude (2,4-dichloro-pyrimidin-5-yl)-(5-fluoro-benzofuran-7-yl)-methanol as an oil. Purification was by silica gel chromatography (50% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 930 mg of oil (˜70%). HRMS, observed: 311.9863; Calcd for (M+H)+: 311.9869
