Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of diisopropylamine (364 μl) in tetrahydrofuran (1 ml) was cooled to −78° C., and thereto was added dropwise n-butyl lithium (0.86 ml, 2.77M hexane solution), and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was cooled to −78° C., and thereto was added dropwise a solution of 1-bromo-3-fluoro-4-(methoxymethoxy)benzene (470 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (1 ml), and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. To the mixture was added dropwise N,N-dimethyl-formamide (210 μl), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for one hour. To the reaction mixture was added a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (48 mg).
