Procedure

A mixture of 1-bromo-4-fluorobenzene (5.00 ml, 45.5 mmol), magnesium turnings (3.32 g, 137 mmol), and a few iodine crystals in 70 ml dry THF were vigorously stirred for 4 hours under the protection of nitrogen and cooling with ice/water. Norcamphor (5.00 g, 45.5 mmol) dissolved in 10 ml dry THF was added drop-wise, and the reaction was allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction was carefully quenched with water and decanted from the excess magnesium turnings. The reaction mixture in THF and water was adjusted to pH 7 with 2N HCl solution and extracted with chloroform (3×50 ml). The extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was removed by vacuum evaporator. This resulted in an alcohol intermediate (III) appearing as a faintly yellow oil (9.4 g, 99%).
