Reaction Steps

A solution of isopropylmagnesium chloride (2.0 M in THF, 40.3 mL, 80.6 mmol) was added dropwise by syringe to a solution of 5-bromo-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (19.5 g, 86.3 mmol) in dry THF (12 mL) at 2° C. After 30 minutes, tert-butyl 4-formylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (12.3 g, 57.3 mmol) was added to the Grignard solution at 2° C. as a solid. The reaction mixture was warmed to 10° C. over 1.5 hours after which it was quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. The mixture was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The separated aqueous phase was further extracted with ethyl acetate and washed with saturated aqueous NaCl solution. The organic phase was dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated and used crude in the next step.
