(3-bromofuran-2-yl)methanol

Conditions: temp:0.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: tert-Butyldimethylsilanyl triflate (17.13 g) was added slowly to a stirred, cooled solution of 3-bromo-2-hydroxymethylfuran (Intermediate 39, 10.1 g) in DCM (160 mL) and pyridine (9.57 g) while maintaining the temperature at 0° C. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 1 hour. The mixture was washed with aqueous citric acid solution, brine, dried (Na2SO4) and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness to give 3-bromo-2-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxymethyl)furan (17.1 g). to warm to room temperature The mixture was washed with aqueous citric acid solution, brine dried (Na2SO4) filtered The filtrate was evaporated to dryness
