Reaktionsschritte

Methylmagnesium bromide (3M in diethylether, 6.77 mL, 20.31 mmol) was added dropwise over ˜15 min to a solution of 4-bromo-3-fluorobenzaldehyde (3.1 g, 15.27 mmol) in THF (50 mL) under argon at a temperature of −60° C. to −50° C. The ice bath was removed and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred ˜20 hr. The reaction mixture was slowly diluted/quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (20 mL) and further diluted with water (10 mL). The separated aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×40 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (60 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide crude 1-(4-bromo-3-fluorophenyl)ethanol as a pale yellow oil, which was directly used without further purification.
