Participants

Reaction Steps

Add ethylmagnesium bromide (3 N, 53.9 mL, 74.9 mmol) to a solution of 2-bromo-4-fluorobenzonitrile(15 g, 73.5 mmol) and tetraisopropoxytitanium (23 mL, 162 mmol) in ether (25 mL) at −70° C. under N2. After stirring at the temperature for 10 min, let it warm-up to RT and stir for one hour. Add boron trifluoride etherate (BF3OEt2) (16.8 mL, 147 mmol) to the solution slowly and stir for another hour. After adding 1 N HCl (200 mL) and ether (150 mL), separate the ether layer. Add 10% NaOH (150 mL) to the aqueous solution and extract it with ether. Separate the organic layer and dry over magnesium sulfate. Filter and concentrate in vacuo to give a residue. Purify the residue by column chromatography (diethylether) to give the title compound (7.5 g, 44%). MS (ES) m/z 230 [M+1]+.
