With boron tribromide In dichloromethane at -20 - 20℃; for 12 h;
To a stirred solution of l-bromo-2,3-difluoro-4-methoxybenzene (3 g, 13.45 mmol) in DCM (30 mL) at -20 °C was added 1M BBr3 in DCM (26.9 mL, 26.9 mmol) dropwise over 10 min. The cold bath was removed and the reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 12 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to 10 °C and quenched with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (100 mL). The mixture was diluted with DCM (150 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 4-bromo-2,3- difiuorophenol (2 g, 9.47 mmol, 70percent yield) as a dark red oil. NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-cf): δ 7.15-7.21 (m, 1H), 6.69-6.76 (m, 1H), 5.30-5.31 (m, 1H) ppm.

The precipitate was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated to dryness in vacuo. Dichloromethane and water were added and the product was extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give l-bromo-2,3- difluoro-4-methoxybenzene as a white crystalline solid (3.8 g, quantitative).

Step 2) 2.Og 3-Isobutoxy-4,5,6,6a-tetrahydro-3aH-pentalen-l -one was dissolved in 40 ml DCM. 2.47g Br2 was added drop wise and the mixture was stirred at rt for 20 min. The reaction mixture was cooled to O0C and 3.12 g TEA was slowly added. The cooling bath was removed and the mixture was stirred at rt for 1 h. Filtration and concentration gave a crude product which was purified on silica using 2% MeOH in DCM to produce 2.26 g l-Bromo-2,3-difluoro-4-methoxy-benzene.
Step 3 ) n-BuLi (1.1 eq) was added to a solution of 40 mg l-Bromo-2,3-difluoro-4-methoxy-benzene in 5 ml dry ether at -78C under N2. 440 mg (1.61 mmol) 2-Bromo-3-isobutoxy-4,5,6,6a-tetrahydro-3aH- pentalen-1-one dissolved in 5 ml dry ether and cooled to -78C was added drop wise. The mixture was stirred under N2 and the temperature was slowly raised overnight. The reaction was quenched with 10 ml water followed by 10 ml HCl (2N). The aqueous mixture was extracted with ether 3x and the combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4. Concentration followed by purification on silica using a ether/n-heptane (1 :9-2:8) gradient afforded 390 mg 2-Bromo-3-(2,3-difluoro-4-methoxy- phenyl)-4,5,6,6a-tetrahydro-3aH-pentalen-l-one as a clear oil which solidified after a while.

A 1.6M solution of tert-butyl lithium in pentane (23.4 mL, 37.5 mmol, 2.2 equ) was added dropwise under nitrogen at -78C to a solution of l-bromo-2,3-difluoro-4-methoxybenzene (3.8 g, 17.0 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (40 mL) and the resulting yellow/red solution was stirred for 45 min. at -78 C before the addition of trimethyl borate (5.69 mmol, 51.0 mmol, 3 equ). The resulting pale yellow solution was stirred for 16 h and the reaction was quenched with 3N HC1. The mixture was stirred for 2 h and water was added. The product was extracted with diethyl ether and the combined organic extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The product was triturated with hexane, filtered and dried under suction to give the title compound as an off-white solid (2.53 g, 79% yield).<¾ (DMSO-d6): 8.16 (2H, s (br)), 7.31-7.36 (1H, ddd, J=8.6, 6.6, 2.3), 6.96-7.00 (1H, ddd, J=8.6, 7.3, 1.5), 3.87 (3H, s).Note: The estimated purity of the product as determined by NMR was 80% and the product was used without further purification in the next step.
