Procedure

To a stirred solution of the benzonitrile (3.53 g, 9.69 mmol) from step D in CCl4 (90 mL) was added NBS (1.98 g, 11.14 mmol) and benzoyl peroxide (70%, 0.352 g, 1.45 mmol). The mixture was heated at reflux for 3 h. After cooling to ambient temperature, the reaction was diluted with CH2Cl2 (100 mL), washed with 1N NaOH (100 mL), brine (100 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. Purification by SiO2 chromatography (10% EtOAc in hexanes) afforded 3-(bromomethyl)-4-[(diphenylmethylidene)amino]-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (4.08 g, 95%) as a light yellow solid: 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 7.78 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 7.78-7.11 (m, 10H), 6.91 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 4.78 (s, 2H).
