Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-fluoro-3-isobutoxybenzene (1.7 g, 10 mmol, EXAMPLE 16, Step 1) in tetrahydrofuran (15 mL) was added dropwise s-BuLi (0.99 M in cyclohexane, 12 mL, 12 mmol) at −78° C. under nitrogen atmosphere, and the mixture was stirred for 1 h. N,N-dimethylformamide (1.2 mL, 15 mmol) was added to the mixture, and the mixture was warm to −20° C. After being stirred at −20° C. for 1 h, the mixture was quenched with aq. sodium hydrogencarbonate (30 mL). The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (60 mL) and washed with water (30 mL). The extract was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give an oil. The residual oil was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate 30:1) to give 1.2 g (61%) of the title compound as a colorless oil.
