Procedure

Ethyl 1-(4-bromo-2-iodobenzyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)cyclohexanecarboxylate (Intermediate 77, 2.41 g, 4.64 mmol) was dissolved in THF (40 mL). The atmosphere was exchanged to argon, and the solution was cooled to −78° C. Isopropylmagnesium chloride-lithium chloride (1.3 M in THF) (2.86 mL, 3.71 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 15 min. The reaction mixture left to warm up to r.t., while stirred for 30 min. The reaction is mixture was quenched with sat. NH4Cl. Brine was added, and the phases were separated. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by preparative chromatography (XBridge C18 (10 μm, 50×250 mm) column with a gradient of 50-100% MeCN) in (95% 0.05M NH4OAc in MilliQ water and 5% MeCN) over 15 min at a flow rate of 100 mL/min). The purification provided the title compound (0.849 g, 52% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 1.51-1.61 (m, 3 H) 1.75-1.84 (m, 2 H) 1.97 (m, 2 H) 2.18 (m, 2 H) 2.90 (s, 2 H) 7.29 (dd, 1 H) 7.69 (dd, 1 H) 7.84 (d, 1 H); MS (ES+) 346 [M+H]+.
