Procedure

100 mL dry THF, 75 mL of 1M (R) —CBS reagent in toluene, and 26.7 mL borane-diethylaniline complex were stirred together 20 min at room temperature. 3-{2-[4-(3,4-Dichloro-benzyloxy)-phenyl]-2-oxo-ethoxy}-4-fluoro-benzonitrile (31.7 g) in 700 mL dry THF was then added through an addition funnel at rt over 30 minutes. The mixture stirred for 30 min, then was quenched by slow addition of 100 mL MeOH. After gas evolution ceased the mixture was evaporated to a yellow oil. The oil was dissolved in 200 mL ethyl acetate and washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was stirred with hexanes and the hexanes layer removed. The resulting residue was purified over silica gel (DCM). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 7.54 (d, 1H), 7.46 (d, 1H), 7.38 (m, 2H), 7.3-7.15 (m, 4H), 6.97 (m, 2H), 5.13 (m, 1H), 5.03 (s, 2H), 4.10 (m, 2H), 2.64 (d, 1H).
