Procedure

A solution of 2-acetylamino-5-formyl-4-trifluoromethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (840 mg, 2.90 mmol) in dry diethyl ether (29 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and a solution of ethylmagnesium bromide (1M in THF, 5.8 mL, 5.8 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred for 1 h at 0° C. and the reaction was quenched by adding aqueous ammonium chloride solution. This mixture was extracted once with EtOAc and the organic phase was then washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel 60, hexanes/EtOAc 80:20→70:30) to furnish 2-acetylamino-5-(1-hydroxy-propyl)-4-trifluoromethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (262 mg, 0.82 mmol, 28%) as a white solid, m.p. 120-122° C., ESI-MS: m/z 320 [M+H]+.
