Procedure

1-bromo-2-nitrobenzene (6.000 g, 29.7 mmol) was added to tetrahydrofuran (65 mL) and cooled to −40° C. Vinylmagnesiumbromide (1M in tetrahydrofuran, 89 mL) was added quickly. The solution was stirred for 20 minutes and then poured into a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride. The solution was extracted with diethyl ether and dried with brine and anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solution was concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel with 5% ethyl acetate in hexanes to provide the title compound.
