A solution of freshly prepared lithium diisopropylamide (21.6 mL of 0.31M stock solution, 6.69 mmol) cooled to −78° C. was treated with a solution of (3-fluoro-4-methoxy-phenyl)-acetic acid methyl ester (1.26 g, 6.38 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran/l,3-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone (16 mL, 3:1). The resulting solution was stirred at −78° C. for 45 min. At this time, the reaction was treated with a solution of iodomethylcyclopentane (1.47 g, 7.02 mmol) in 1,3-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone (2 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 4 h. The reaction was warmed to 25° C. and stirred at 25° C. for 48 h. The reaction mixture was then quenched by the slow addition of a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (10 mL). The reaction mixture was then poured into water (100 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The organics were washed with a saturated aqueous lithium chloride solution (1×50 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 230-400 mesh, 90/10 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded 3-cyclopentyl-2-(3-fluoro-4-methoxy-phenyl)-propionic acid methyl ester (1.50 g, 83.8%) as a clear oil: EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C16H21FO3(M+) 280.1477 found 280.1474.
