Reaction Steps

A solution of 1,1-dibromo-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethene (14 g, 42.4 mmol) in THF (100 ml) at −78° C. under nitrogen was treated with butyllithium (1.6 M solution in hexane, 28 ml, 44.8 mmol). after being stirred for 1 hour at −78° C., the reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for another hour. The reaction was quenched with water and the product was extracted with hexanes. The extract was dried over MgSO4, filtrated and concentrated in vacuo to give the product. (Corey, E. J.; Fuchs, P. L.
