Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,4-dichloro-6-fluorobenzonitrile (3.87 mmol) in 15 mL THF was added a solution of BH3 (15.5 mmol, 1M in THF) and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 1 h. After cooling to 0° C., water was added followed by MeOH and the mixture was then heated to 70° C. for 10 min. The solvent was evaporated, the residue was taken up in water and EtOAc. The aqueous phase was separated, basified with 1M NaOH and it was extracted 3 times with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to obtain the desired product as yellow oil.
