Procedure

Proline (23 mg, 0.20 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-chloro-3-fluorobenzaldehyde (159 mg, 1.00 mmol) in acetone (2.5 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was then treated with saturated ammonium chloride. After partitioning, the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×25 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:4) to afford 4-(4-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)-4-hydroxybutan-2-one (160 mg, 73% yield) as a solid. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.36 (m, 1H), 7.19 (m, 1H), 7.06 (m, 1H), 5.13 (t, J=6.5 Hz, 1H), 3.43 (br s, 1H), 2.82 (d, J=6.5 Hz, 1H), 2.21 (s, 3H).
