Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Fluoro-4-(2-nitro-vinyl)-1-trifluoromethyl-benzene (I-47a: 2.8 g, 11.914 mmol) was reacted with chlorotrimethylsilane (10.328 g, 95.07 mmol), LiBH4 (1.03 g 47.65 mmol) and THF (40 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 72 hours to afford 2.46 g of the product (100% yield), LCMS: 99.49%, m/z=208.0 (M+1)
