Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,5-dimethyltetrazole (0.98 g, 10.0 mmoles) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) at -30° C. was added n-butyl lithium (4.7 mL of 2.14M solution, 10.0 mmoles). After stirring for 0.25 hour, the solution was cooled to -50° C. and 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone (1.74 g, 8.0 mmoles) was added. After stirring for 1 hour at -50° C. and 1 hour at -10° C., the reaction was quenched with 1N hydrochloric acid. The mixture was extracted with methylene chloride, dried and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with 40% (v/v) ethyl acetate in hexane to give 2.0 g of the title compound; m.p.=116°-118° C.
