“…Water was added dropwise keeping the temperature at 4 8C until all excess POCl 3 was quenched. The resulting mixture was extracted with dichloromethane and purified by flash column chromatography ( 10,131.65,129.04,128.79,127.18,122.36,121.66,106.26,6,7, To a solution of 4 (927 mg, 3 mmol) in dichloromethane (15 ml) was added BBr 3 (2.25 g, 9 mmol) at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction was stirred for 15 h at room temperature, then cooled to 0 8C and quenched by slow addition of water.…”
