Thankyou Osmium. I was aware that a variety of reagents - I2, H2SO4, Me2SO4, TMSCl, BF3-Et2O, etc. However, I have never seen an example of this done in a solvent other than THF or Et2O. So the question is, will TBME work as a solvent for this reaction, and if so will it affect yields? I have searched the Hive, Google, and other places for more info on this but have found nothing relevant. Please help if you can.
Thanks,
