A selective synthesis of ethylene acetal of 4‐bromo‐2‐furancarboxaldehyde ( 4 ) and its pinacolborane derivative ( 5 ) is described. The synthesis was carried out using 2‐furancarboxaldehyde ( 1 ) that was bromi‐nated to 4,5‐dibromo‐2‐furancarboxaldehyde ( 2 ) in an emulsion of aluminum chloride and methylene chloride. The product was isolated, protected as ethylene acetal, and selectively debrominated to the ethylene acetal of 4‐bromo‐2‐furancarboxaldehyde ( 4 ) in one step. This moiety was reacted with pinacolborane to give a reactive reagent of Suzuki coupling.
