Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 5-bromo-2-fluoro-benzaldehyde (6.10 g, 30.0 mmol) in 30 mL of THF at 0° C. is added 5 mL of sodium borohydride (2.0M solution in triglyme, 10.0 mmol). The reaction mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 25 min and then quenched by the addition of 1N HCl. The mixture is diluted with EtOAc and the layers are separated. The organic layer is washed with H2O and saturated NaCl. The organic layer is dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product is purified by column chromatography eluting with 15% EtOAc/hexanes to afford the title compound (6.00 g, 29.3 mmol).
