11.7 g (84.07 mmol) of 2-cyano-4-hydroxymethylthiophene together with 24.1 g (91.87 mmol) of triphenylphosphine were dissolved in 100 ml of-THF at room temperature, and 30.47 g (91.87 mmol) of tetrabromomethane were added, a little at a time, with cooling (ice bath). After stirring for 3 hours at room temperature, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and purified by chromatography over silica gel (methylene chloride/petroleum ether). 18.8 g of crystalline pale yellow product which still contained petroleum ether resulted.
