Procedure

400 mL dry THF, 93 mL of 1M (S)-CBS reagent in toluene, and 30.3 g borane-diethylaniline complex were stirred together 10 min at rt. 3-{2-[4-(3,4-dichloro-benzyloxy)-phenyl]-2-oxo-ethoxy}-4-fluoro-benzonitrile (40 g) in 1.2 L dry THF was then added through an addition funnel at rt over 10 min. The mixture stirred for 15 min, then was quenched by slow addition of 100 mL MeOH. After gas evolution ceased the mixture was evaporated to a yellow oil. The oil was dissolved in 200 mL diethyl ether, precipitated with 1.2 L of hexanes and stored 18 h at −20° C. The desired product was collected by filtration and dried under vacuum to give 28.9 g. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 7.54 (d, 1H), 7.46 (d, 1H), 7.38 (m, 2H), 7.3-7.15 (m, 4H), 6.97 (m, 2H), 5.13 (m, 1H), 5.03 (s, 2H), 4.10 (m, 2H), 2.63 (d, 1H).
