Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-bromo-2-fluoro-4-iodobenzene (44.22 g, 0.147 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (160 mL) was added isopropylmagnesium chloride (2.0 M solution in tetrahydrofuran, 73.5 mL) at 0° C. and the mixture stirred at 0° C. for 3 hours. This solution was cannulated into a solution of 1-BOC-2-piperidone (24.4 g, 0.122 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (240 mL) at −78° C. and the mixture stirred at −78° C. for 1 hour. The solution was warmed to ambient temperature and stirred for one hour before quenching with water. Hydrochloric acid (2N, 120 mL) was added and the mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 10 minutes. The mixture was concentrated and the residue partitioned between ethyl acetate and brine. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and filtered. Concentration afforded the crude product which was recrystallized from hexane and dichloromethane to give 33.95 g of the title compound as a white solid. 1HNMR (CDCl3) δ 1.44 (s, 9H), 1.52-1.63 (m, 2H), 1.70-1.83 (m, 2H), 2.96 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 3.16 (q, J=6.4 Hz, 2H), 4.58 (s, 1H), 7.59-7.71 (m, 3H).
