To 4-fluoro-2-iodo-1-nitrobenzene (40.0 g, 150 mmol) in THF (200 mL) at −40° C. was added phenylmagnesium chloride (80.0 mL, 2M in THF, 161 mmol) dropwise. The reaction was stirred for 30 min followed by dropwise addition of CuCN.2LiCl (26.0 g, 150 mmol) in THF. The mixture was stirred an additional 30 min at which time allyl bromide (20.0 g, 161 mmol) was added. The reaction was stirred at −40° C. for 2 h followed by rt overnight. The reaction was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography provided the title compound of step B (11.0 g, 60.7 mmol, 42%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 3.70 (d, J=6.4 Hz, 2H), 5.08-5.71 (m, 2H), 6.87-6.02 (m, 1H), 7.01-7.11 (m, 2H), 7.95-8.05 (m, 1H).
