Procedure

A 3.0 M solution of methylmagnesium chloride in tetrahydrofuran (4.88 mL, 14.64 mmol) was added slowly to a solution of 3-(2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)cyclohex-2-enone (2.00 g, 10.46 mmol) in THF (20 ml) at −78° C. After completion of the addition the reaction mixture was stirred overnight while it gradually warmed up to RT. It was cooled in an ice water bath and distilled water (5 ml) was added slowly. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (200 ml) was added, and it was extracted EtOAc (3×100 ml). The combined organic layers were washed by brine and dried over sodium sulfate. Filtration and concentration under reduced pressure gave (rac)-3-(2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-1-methylcyclohex-2-enol as a light yellow liquid. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 208.0 (M+1).
