[F:1][C:2]1[CH:3]=[C:4]([CH:7]=[CH:8][C:9]=1[O:10][CH3:11])[C:5]#N.[CH2:12]([Mg]Br)[CH3:13].C1C[O:19]CC1>>[F:1][C:2]1[CH:3]=[C:4]([C:5](=[O:19])[CH2:12][CH3:13])[CH:7]=[CH:8][C:9]=1[O:10][CH3:11]To a solution of 3-fluoro-4-methoxybenzonitrile (350 mg, 2.32 mmol) in 15 mL anhydrous THF was added ethylmagnesium bromide (1 M in Et2O, 4.63 mL) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at rt overnight, then quenched with sat. NaHCO3, extracted with EtOAc, washed with brine, dried and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (eluent: petroleum ether/EtOAc=5/1) over silica gel to give the product (239 mg, 57% yield) as a yellow solid.
