THF is added at the same temperature and heated for another 10 min. After 10 min., the reaction mixture is cooled to 0° C. Trimethylsulfonium iodide (1-1.2 equiv.) is added and the contents stirred for 10 min. after which the solution of 3-fluoro-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (1 equiv.) in THF is added dropwise. After complete addition, the reaction mixture is stirred at RT for 2 h; the reaction is monitored by LCMS. The reaction mixture is poured in ice water, extracted in diethyl ether (4×50 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated at 25° C. to get the crude product.
