20a - A:

DBU (2 ml, 128.9 mmol) diluted in 5 ml THF was added to a stirred solution of

sulfone 11 (2.0g, 6.34 mmol) and 3-bromobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carbaldehyde 20

(1530.0 mg, 6.35 mmol) in 15 ml of THF at -50 to -60°C slowly in 20 minutes. After

addition the mixture was stirred for 1 h at -50 to -60°C temperature. The reaction was

then allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirred for another 1 h. The

completion of the reaction was monitored by TLC. The reaction mass was quenched

with water. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate 3 x 30 ml. The

combined organic layer dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and evaporated under

reduced pressure. The product was purified by column chromatography (silica, pet

ether/AcOEt 95:5) to yield (E/Z)-3-bromo-2-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-en-1-
