Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (3-fluoropropyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (11.2 g, 27.8 millimols) with THF (50 ml) was cooled down to -20° C., followed by adding t-BuOK (3.1 g, 27.8 millimols) to the mixture, stirring for one hour, dropwise adding to the mixture, a THF (100 ml) solution of trans-4-(trans-4-(3-fluoro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)cyclohexyl)cyclohexanecarbaldehyde (9.0 g, 25.3 millimols) so as to keep the temperature at -20° C. or lower, stirring the mixture at the same temperature for 2 hours, and treating the reaction product in the same manner as in Example 2 except that the quantity of ethyl acetate used for extraction was made 400 ml, to obtain raw (trans-4-(trans-4-(4-fluorobutenyl)cyclohexyl)cyclohexyl)-3-fluoro-4-trifluoromethylbenzene (8.9 g).
