Reaction Steps

1,1,1-trifluoro-3-phenylpropanone (0.50 mL, 3.2 mmol) was dissolved in 5 mL of diethyl ether and the mixture was cooled to 0° C. Bromine (0.16 mL, 3.2 mmoL) was added and the mixture was stirred for 18 h and allowed to warm to rt. The solvent was removed to provide a 2:1 mixture of Example A176a as a starting material which was used in the subsequent reaction without further purification.
