Reaction Steps

A mixture of (3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (9.0 g, 20.5 millimols) with THF (45 ml) was cooled down to -20° C., followed by adding t-BuOK (2.5 g, 22.5 millimols) to the mixture, stirring for 30 minutes, dropwise adding to the mixture, a THF (50 ml) solution of trans-4-(4-cyanophenyl)cyclohexanecarbaldehyde (4.8 g, 22.5 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 product in the same manner as in Example 1, to obtain raw 4-(trans-4-(4,4,4-trifluorobutenyl)cyclohexyl)benzonitrile (5.1 g).
