A solution of o-tolylmagnesium bromide (2M, 5.51 mL, 11.01 mmol) was added, and the reaction mixture was removed from the cooling bath and warmed to room temperature. After 1 hour, the reaction mixture was quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give Intermediate A-20A. MS(ES): m/z=272 [M−H−]; HPLC: RT=2.478 min (H2O/MeOH with TFA, CHROMOLITH® ODS S5 4.6×50 mm, gradient=4 min, wavelength=220 nm).
