Procedure

92 ml of n-butyl lithium solution (1.6M in hexane) are added dropwise at -70° within 20 minutes to 33.0 g of 4-bromobenzotrifluoride (dissolved in 150 ml of tetrahydrofuran). After stirring at -70° for 45 minutes, 36 g of 3-methoxy-4-benzyloxybenzaldehyde (dissolved in 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran) are added dropwise thereto at between -70° and -60°. The reaction mixture is stirred at -70° for 2 hours and at 0° for 1 hour, poured into a mixture of ice and 100 ml of 2N sulfuric acid and extracted twice with 500 ml of ether. The combined ether phases are washed with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated. There is obtained 4-(benzyloxy)-3-methoxy-4'-(trifluoromethyl)benzhydrol which can be used directly in the subsequent reaction step.
