A stirred suspension of α-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-4-fluorobenzylformamide produced in step (a) above, (100 g, 325 mmoles) in THF (650 mL, 6.5 volumes) was cooled to 0° C. and POCl3 (46 mL, 487 mmoles, 1.5 equiv.) was added. A 1° C. exotherm was observed. After 15 minutes at 0° C., the white slurry was cooled to -5° C. Triethylamine (166 g, 1.62 moles, 5 equiv.) was added dropwise to the slurry over 45 minutes at such a rate to keep the reaction temperature below 0° C. but above -5° C. Caution should be exercised at the beginning of the addition because the reaction has a tendency to exotherm quickly. After complete addition, the yellow slurry was stirred for 30 minutes at 0° C. The reaction slurry has a tendency to darken during the stirring period. The reaction was poured into a mixture of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (1 L) and ethyl acetate (1 L), both pre-cooled to 0° C. The organic phase was subsequently washed with water followed by brine. The organic phase was concentrated under vacuum via rotary evaporation until about 10% of the initial volume remained. 1-Propanol (200 mL) was added and concentrated again under vacuum at 35° C. until about 10% of the initial volume remained. This process was repeated with fresh 1-propanol (200 mL). A fine, yellow precipitate was observed. The precipitate was cooled to 0° C. and the product was collected by suction filtration and rinsed with 1-propanol (50 mL). The off-white solid was dried to a constant weight at 40° C./<1 mm to give 65.7 g (227 mmoles) of desired product, affording a 70% yield. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.62 (2H, d, J=6.7 Hz), 7.46 (4H, m), 7.08 (2H, t, J=8.6 Hz), 5.62 (1 H, s), 2.46 (3H, s).
