2-(4-Chloro-phenylsulfanylmethyl)-1,3,4-trifluoro-benzene (Example 8, step 2, 1.0 g, 3.1 mmol) and methyl crotonate (1.55 g, 15.5 mmol) were dissolved in 50 mL of THF and potassium t-butoxide (1M in THF, 6.2 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for five hours. 100 mL of water and 100 mL of EtOAc were added. The organic layer washed with brine (100 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The product was purified by column chromatography using EtOAc/hexane as the eluent (gradient from 0/100 to 50/50 in 40 min, 0.79 g, 60%). The product is a mixture of diastereomers. 1H NMR (CDCl3 400 MHz) δ 7.60 (m, 2H), 7.37 (m, 2H), 7.07 (m, 1H), 6.83 (m, 0.5H), 6.63 (m, 0.5H), 5.03 (t, J=10.2 Hz, 0.5H), 4.80 (d, J=10.2 Hz, 0.5H), 3.71 (s, 1.5H), 3.60 (s, 1.5H), 3.33 (m, 1H), 3.10 (m, 0.5H), 2.89 (m, 0.5H), 2.42 (m, 0.5H), 2.15 (m, 0.5H), 1.49 (t, J=6.6 Hz, 1.5H), 0.95 (dd, J=8.8 and 7.3 Hz, 1.5H).
