Procedure

Under an argon stream, 6.5 g of 3-bromoacetophenone are placed in a round-bottomed flask and dissolved in 544 ml of diethyl ether and 272 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The mixture is cooled to 0° C. using an ice bath, and 100 ml of a 1M solution of methylmagnesium bromide in dibutyl ether are added thereto, dropwise. The mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 1 h and 400 ml of a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride are added. The organic phase is separated, dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. 10.0 g of compound are obtained. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, δ in ppm): 1.45 (s, 6H); 5.15 (s, 1H); 7.25 (t, 1H); 7.4 (d, 1H); 7.45 (d, 1H); 7.65 (s, 1H).
