Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1,3-dichloro-2-fluoro-5-(1-trifluoromethyl-vinyl)-benzene (10 g, 38.61 mmol) in DCM (150 mL) was added benzyl-methoxymethyl-trimethylsilanylmethyl-amine (36.6 g, 154.44 mmol) at room temperature and reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. followed by slow addition of TFA (0.29 mL, 3.861 mmol). Resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. After complete consumption of starting material, the reaction mixture was quenched with aqueous Na2CO3 and extracted with DCM (3×100 mL). Combined organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under vacuum to afford brown oil (9.7 g, crude). Crude compound was purified by column chromatography using 100-200 mesh silica gel. Desired product was eluted in 4% ethyl acetate in hexane to afford product as brownish solid (6.1 g, impure). Impure compound was used as such for next reaction. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 2.24-2.31 (m, 1H), 2.53-2.59 (m, 1H), 2.68-2.78 (m, 1H), 2.80-2.83 (m, 1H), 3.01-3.08 (m, 2H), 3.61-3.69 (m, 2H), 7.29-7.34 (m, 7H). (m/z): 280.4 (M+H).
