Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 100 mL, 3-necked flask equipped with an overhead stirrer, reflux condenser and pressure equalizing addition funnel was charged with 2b (10.0 g, 34.6 mmol), THF (50 mL) and CuCl (42 mg, 1 mol %) and the stirrer was started. The stirred mixture was heated to 48° C. and the pressure equalizing addition funnel was charged with PhMgCl (2M in THF, 17.4 mL). This solution was added slowly while maintaining a reaction temperature of 48-51° C. The reaction was allowed to stir at 48-51° C. for an additional 2 hours until the GC analysis indicated the consumption of 2b (<1.0%) and the reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature. The reaction was quenched by slow addition to a cooled solution of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride/water mixture (50/50 v/v, 60 mL) while maintaining the batch temperature below 20° C. Heptanes (60 mL) was used to rinse the reactor and was transferred to the quench mixture. The biphasic mixture was agitated for 15 minutes and the aqueous layer was removed. The organic layer washed with deionized water (20 mL) and the organic phase concentrated under reduced pressure to give viscous oil. This residue was dissolved in heptanes (50 mL) and the solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was crystallized from ethanol (1 g/5 mL) to give 6b as a white solid (9.05 g, 72% yield, 99.85% GC purity containing 0.05% of 8b). Mp 102-103° C. (lit1 101-102° C.). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.38-7.11 (m, 15H), 3.83-3.65 (m, 1H), 3.00-2.89 (m, 1H), 2.86-2.78 (m, 1H), 2.73-2.62 (m, 1H), 1.15 (d, J=10.1 Hz, 3H).
