To a mixture of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine (4.50 mL, 26.6 mmol) and tetrahydrofuran (40 mL, 500 mmol) at −78° C. was slowly added n-butyllithium (2.5 mol/L in hexane, 11.5 mL, 28.8 mmol). The reaction vessel was transferred to a 0° C. ice bath for 60 minutes and then recooled at −78° C. 2-fluoro-4-methylbenzonitrile (3.1095 g, 23.010 mmol) as a solution in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL, 200 mmol) was then slowly added. The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 2 hours, and then a solution of iodine (7.33 g, 28.9 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL, 100 mmol) was slowly added and then the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature. After 1.5 hours the reaction mixture was poured into a solution of sodium thiosulfate (20 g) in water (40 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes. The layers were separated, and the aqueous layer extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was purified via flash chromatography on silica gel (80 g silica, solvent gradient 0-10% ethyl acetate in heptanes) to yield a mixture of regioisomeric products, with the desired product as the major component (3.9385 g, 76% pure). LCMS (ESI): M+H=262.1; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.51-7.44 (m, 1H), 7.14 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 2.56 (s, 3H).
