Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-bromo-5-fluorophenol (1.0 g) in DMF (15 mL) in a microwave tube was added cesium carbonate (5.0 g), potassium iodide (130 mg) and bromocyclopropane (1.82 g). The mixture was heated in a microwave oven to 180° C. for 1 h, to 200° C. for 1 h and to 220° C. for 1 h. Ethyl acetate was added and the mixture was washed with water. The organic phase was washed with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried (sodium sulfate) and the solvent was removed in vacuum. Silica gel chromatography gave 1.14 g of the title compound.
