2-Bromothiophene → HCID 19885898, compound

To a stirred solution of 2-bromothiophene (0.341 g, 2.09 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) under argon at -78° was added t-butyl lithium (2.53 ml of a 1.7M solution) followed by 1,3-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone (0.268 g, 2.09 mmol). To this mixture was added 1-bromo-8-t-butyldimethylsiloxyoctane (0.615 g, 1.90 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml). After gradual warming followed by stirring at room temperature for 18 hours, the mixture was concentrated, taken up in ethyl ether and washed consecutively with cold 10% hydrochloric acid, saturated sodium bicarbonate, water, saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give a yellow oil. To this residue in tetrahydrofuran (20 ml) at 0° was added tetrabutylammonium fluoride (8.4 ml of a 1.0M solution). After stirring for 16 hours at room temperature, the mixture was concentrated, taken up in ethyl ether and washed with 10% hydrochloric acid, saturated sodium bicarbonate, water, saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give a yellow oil. Further purification by flash chromatography (silica, 30% ethyl acetate/hexane) gave the desired alcohol.
