Procedure

A mixture of (RS) methyl 2-hydroxy-2-(thien-3-yl)acetate (see Preparation 24) (4.49 g), triphenylphosphine (8.21 g) and carbon tetrabromide (10.4 g) in acetonitrile (100 ml) was refluxed for 2 hours, cooled, further triphenylphosphine (2.5 g) and carbon tetrabromide (3 g) were added, and refluxing was continued for a further 2 hours. After cooling, the mixture was used directly, without further purification, in Preparation 17.
