Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-indazol-5-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-3-phenylpropanal (from Ex 116(b), 25 mg, 0.067 mmol) in THF (1 ml) at 0° C. was added a solution of 1.4 M methylmagnesium bromide in 1 ml of THF (1.4 M) dropwise. After 1 hr, the reaction was quenched with sat. NH4Cl and was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to give 4-(1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-indazol-5-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-4-phenylbutan-2-ol as a white solid (24 mg, 92% yield). It is a mixture of diastereomers in a 1:1 ratio. 1H NMR (400 MHz, MeOD) δ ppm 8.20 (1 H, d, J=5.09 Hz) 7.96 (1 H, d, J=9.16 Hz) 7.68-7.75 (2 H, m) 7.59-7.67 (2 H, m) 7.53 (2 H, dd, J=7.63, 2.54 Hz) 7.23-7.35 (4 H, m) 7.14-7.20 (1 H, m) 4.40 (1 H, s) 3.50-3.60 (1 H, m) 1.10 (3 H, 2 singlets,) 1.05 (3 H, s) 0.99 (3 H, 2 singlets).
