Reaction Steps

To 1-bromo-3-chloro-5-fluorobenzene (25 g, 112 mmol) and benzyl alcohol (25 mL, 239 mmol) in NMP (200 mL) at room temperature was added sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil; 10.5 g, 263 mmol), and the reaction was heated to 120° C. for 10 hours. The mixture was acidified with 10% aqueous HCl and extracted with EtOAc to give the title compound.
