See also [1,2]. To the solution of 2-bromobenzaldehyde (18.5 g, 100 mmol) and sylvan (20 ml, 250 mmol) in 100 ml of benzene 5 ml of Me3SiCl was added at room temperature. The mixture warmed up to 50-60deg.C within 15 min and a water layer separated. After standing for an additional 1 hr, the organic layer was washed with NaHCO3 solution, separated from the water layer and evaporated. The residue was recrystallised from hexane. Yield 29 g (87.7%) of colourless cubes.

M.p. 56-57deg.C.

1H-NMR (CDCl3): 7.54-7.01 (m, 4H, HAr), 5.82-5.73 (q, 4H, 3,4-HFur), 5.73 (s, 1H, CH), 2.16 (s, 6H, CH3) ppm.

Anal. calc. for C17H15BrO2 (331.2): C 61.65, H 4.56, Br 24.13; found: C 61.7, H 4.5, Br 24.0.
