A Simple Resolution of 4-Bromo-2-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)furan from Tetrahydro-2,4-dioxofuran A convenient procedure for the synthesis of 4-bromo-2,5-dihydro-2-oxofuran (4) from tetrahydro-2,4-dioxofuran (3) by reaction with a Vilsmeier reagent prepared from oxalyl bromide and dimethylformamide is given. Compound 3 reacts with tert-butyldimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate to 4-bromo-2-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)furan (5c), a stable synthetic precursor for 2,5-dihydro-2-oxofuranide (1).
