Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 1.6M LDA solution (12.6 mL, 20.1 mmol) was added to a −78° C. THF solution (50 mL) of 1-chloro-3-(methoxymethoxy)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (from above). After 30 min neat DMF (3.9 mL, 50.0 mmol) was added, and the resulting solution was allowed to warm to 0° C. gradually, quenched with NH4Cl solution, and extracted with diethyl ether. The combined extracts were dried (Na2SO4), concentrated, and purified via column chromatography to yield the title compound.
