Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was synthesized according to the general procedure of Preparation 2, Step 3, for the preparation of (II) except that 4-(4-bromo-2-fluoro-phenyl)-2-methanesulfonyl-2-methyl-butyric acid ethyl ester was used instead of (+/−)-ethyl 4-(4-bromophenyl)-2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)butanoate and that lithium hydroxide was dissolve in water prior to addition to yield as a white solid: 1.96 g, (96.2%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 1.76 (s, 3H) 2.23 (td, 1H) 2.47 (td, J=12.59, 4.88 Hz, 1H) 2.63 (td, J=12.88, 4.68 Hz, 1H) 2.84 (td, J=12.49, 5.07 Hz, 1H) 3.11 (s, 3H) 7.10 (t, J=8.20 Hz, 1H) 7.20-7.23 (m, 1H) 7.25-7.34 (m, 1H)
