A solution of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidine (TMP) (550 mg, 3.93 mmol, 2.1 eq) in THF (5 ml) was cooled to −78° C. under nitrogen atmosphere. N-Butyl lithium (1.6 M in hexane, 1.52 ml, 3.96 mmol, 2.1 eq) was added slowly maintaining the temperature below −70° C. After addition, the reaction mixture was warmed to −50° C. and stirred for one hour. The clear solution became turbid indicating the salt formation. The reaction mixture was cooled to −80° C., and a solution of 2-fluoro-4-methylbenzonitrile (250 mg, 1.85 mmol, 1.0 eq) in THF (1 ml) was slowly added maintaining temperature below −70° C. The mixture was then warmed to −50° C. and stirred for 30 minutes. The mixture was re-cooled to −78° C. and a saturated solution of iodine (516 mg, 2.03 mmol, 1.1 eq) in THF (1 ml) was added slowly maintaining the temperature below −70° C. After addition, the mixture was warmed to ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into a saturated solution of Na2S2O3 (10 ml) and stirred for 30 minutes. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed with brine and dried over sodium sulphate. The volatiles were evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified under silica gel (60-120) column chromatography using 0.5% ethyl acetate/hexane as eluent. Yield: 187 mg (38%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 2.55 (s, 3H), 7.13-7.15 (d, 1H, J=7.92 Hz), 7.48-7.50 (t, 1H, J=4.80 Hz).
