Procedure

The aldehyde 9-1 (318.3 mg, 1.06 mmol) (see reference example 3) in 6 mL dichloromethane (DCM) was added dropwise to a solution of CBr4 (700 mg, 2.11 mmol) and Ph3P (1.10 g, 4.19 mmol) in 10 mL DCM, with cooling in an ice bath. After stirring at 0° C. for 2 h, the mixture was diluted with 30 mL iso-hexane and then filtered through a short Celite column. The column was washed with 20 mL i-hexane, followed by 3/1 i-hexane-DCM. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give light yellow solids. Flash chromatography (silica, 3/1 i-hexane-EtOAc) gave compound 9-2 (339.5 mg, 70% yield).
