Reaction Steps

A mixture of product from Step 2 (2.6 g, 13.4 mmol) and AlCl3 (3.6 g, 26.8 mmol) in anhydrous DCM (50 mL) was refluxed for 3 minutes. The resulting mixture was cooled and poured into water (100 mL), followed by a standard aqueous/DCM workup to give Intermediate 5 (2.2 g, yield 92%).
