Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (3-fluoropropyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (13.8 g, 34.1 millimols) with THF (60 ml) was cooled down to -20° C., followed by adding t-BuOK (3.5 g, 34.1 millimols) to the mixture, stirring for one hour, dropwise adding to the mixture, a THF (120 ml) solution of trans-4-(trans-4-(3,4-difluorophenyl)cyclohexyl)cyclohexanecarbaldehyde (9.5 g, 31.0 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, to obtain raw (trans-4-(trans-4-(4-fluorobutenyl)cyclohexyl)cyclohexyl)-3,4-difluorobenzene (9.2 g).
