I used n-BuLi but base on my experience, 2 equiv n-BuLi is necessary for reaction. I changed from 1.2 equiv to 2 equiv and saw a huge difference.

This could be explained by presence of protic material in you reaction solution, such as water, also oxygen or carbon dioxide would consume BuLi.
n-BuLi does not react with n-BuBr, att least not att any significant speed.
Its nice that you got it working!

Thank you. Protic source may be also a possibility as you mentioned.
