Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared starting from 5.00 g (26.45 mmol) of 2-bromo-5-fluorotoluene and 5.03 g (31.74 mmol) of 4-chloro-2-fluorobenzaldehyde in analogy to the synthesis of the compound from Example 175A. A difference was that the crude product was purified twice by preparative HPLC. 4.84 g (65% of theory) of the title compound were obtained.
