Synthetic procedure: See article for the definitive version of this procedure and for full experimental details.

2.0 M LDA in THF (5.5 mL, 11 mmol) was diluted with THF (25 mL) and cooled to -78 °C. To this solution was added 4-bromo-1-chloro-2- fluorobenzene (S13, 10 mmol) dropwise at same temperature. After stirring for 1 h, DMF (1.0 mL, 13 mmol) was added dropwise, and the reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was quenched with dropwise addition of 0.1 M HCl (aq), and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by flash chromatography to afford 6-bromo-3-chloro-2-fluorobenzaldehyde (S15). 1m was prepared from S15 following the same procedure as the synthesis of 1f. 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3): δ 10.51 (s, 1H), 7.52 (dd, J = 8.3, 7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.03 (d, J = 7.6 Hz, 1H), 3.00 (q, J = 7.5 Hz, 2H), 1.21 (t, J = 7.5 Hz, 3H). 13C NMR (150 MHz, CDCl3): δ 188.21 (d, J = 11.1 Hz), 161.33 (d, J = 259.6 Hz), 147.07, 135.25 (d, J = 1.6 Hz), 126.34 (d, J = 4.7 Hz), 123.14 (d, J = 5.4 Hz), 119.14 (d, J = 18.1 Hz), 26.43, 15.29. 19F NMR (376 MHz, CDCl3): δ -123.46. HRMS (ESI-TOF): m/z calculated for C9H9ClFO+ [M+H]+ 187.0320, found 187.0323.
