Procedure

2-(t-Butyldimethylsilyloxy)-5-(4-fluorophenyl) tetrahydrofuran (202, 593 mg, 2.0 mmol) was mixed in 10 mL of dry methylene chloride (degassed by bubbling argon prior to use). This solution was cooled to -70° C. While stirring at the same temperature under dry argon, trimethylsilyl bromide (290 μL, 2.2 mmol) was added dropwise. The stirring was continued for an additional 1.5 h to produce 2-bromo-5-(4-fluorophenyl) tetrahydrofuran (203) which was not isolated and was used in subsequent chemistry without further purification (see below).
