42. The ether chlorination was unambiguously confirmed by monitoring the reaction of THF 1b with Me2NSO2Cl. The characteristic signal of α-chlorotetrahydrofuran 2b was observed at 6.34 ppm (br d, J = 3.0 Hz) in the 1H NMR chart of the crude reaction mixture. Further treatment with p-nitrobenzyl alcohol/ppts furnished the adduct 3b along with disappearance of 2b. For NMR data of α-chlorotetrahydrofuran, see: K. Cai, Y.-J. Jiang, S.-Y. Zhang, Y.-Q. Fan, and Y.-J. Pan Tetrahedron Lett. 49 2008 4652
