Procedure

To a solution of n-BuLi (1.6 M in hexanes, 4.68 mmol, 2.93 mL) in dry THF was slowly added 4-chloro-2-fluoro-1-iodo-benzene 67h (3.9 mmol, 1.0 g) at −78° C. under N2. The mixture was stirred for 1 h at −78° C. and ethyl trifluoroacetate 67b (0.51 mL, 4.29 mmol) was added. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature overnight and was quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The organic extracts were concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 15% EtOAc/hexanes) to give compound 67i.
