A solution of freshly prepared lithium diisopropylamide (23 mL of a 0.31M stock solution, 7.13 mmol) cooled to −78° C. was treated with (4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-acetic acid (693 mg, 3.4 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran/hexamethylphosphoramide (8.5 mL, 3:1). The resulting solution was stirred at −78° C. for 30 min. lodomethylcyclopentane (784 mg, 3.7 mmol) was then added in hexamethylphosphoramide (1 mL). The mixture was stirred at <78° C. for 4 h. The reaction was then warmed to 25° C and was stirred at 25° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was then quenched by the dropwise addition of a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (10 mL). The excess solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was acidified to pH=1 with a 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution. The mixture was then poured into water (150 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 230-400 mesh, 75/25 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded 3-cyclopentyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-propionic acid (634.9 mg, 65%) as a white solid: mp 94-95° C.; EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C15H17F3O2 (M+) 309.1079, found 309.1072.
