Reaction Steps

A solution of the crude 2-fluoro-1-methoxy-4-(1-phenyl-cyclohexyl)-benzene in dichloromethane (100 mg, 0.25 mmol, 2 mL) was added to a solution of borane tribromide in dichloromethane (1 M, 0.25 ml, 025 mmol) at −78° C. under an argon atmosphere and stirred at r.t for 3 h. Water (10 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (2×10 mL). The combined organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to a syrup. Work-up by flash-chromatography (eluent: 30→80% dichloromethane in heptane) gave the title product in a yield of 50 mg.
