Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-bromo-5-chloro-3-thienyl)(3-chlorophenyl)methanol from Example 1, Step 4 (2.50 g, 7.40 mmol) in dichloromethane at r.t. was added trifluoroacetic acid (5.70 mL, 74.0 mmol) (a red solution formed) followed by triethylsilane (5.91 mL, 37.0 mmol) (red solution turned into yellow) and the mixture was stirred at r.t. for 30 min. and concentrated. The residue was co-evaporated with toluene and then pumped under high vacuum. The crude was purified by flash chromatography (100% hexanes) to give the desired product as a colorless oil.
