Suspend m-trifluoromethylphenylmagnesium bromide in ether by adding a solution of 18 g of m-bromobenzotrifluoride in 30 ml of ether to a stirred suspension of 1.94 g of magnesium turnings in 20 ml of dry ether. Upon completion of addition, allow the reaction mixture to cool to room temperature and add 7.95 g of 1-benzhydryl-2-cyanoazetidine. Stir the mixture for 18 hours at room temperature, cool to 0° C. or lower, and quench by the dropwise addition of 50 ml of water. Add 15 ml of ether and 25 ml of methylene chloride and filter the mixture through a pad of diatomaceous earth, such as commercially available Celite. Remove the aqueous layer of the filtrate. Wash the organic phase with water and dry over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Remove the solvent in vacuo to obtain the title compound as an oil. By suitable substitution, analogous halo compounds can be prepared.
