(3,5-dichloro-4-iodophenyl)methanol

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Using essentially the same coupling procedure as for Example 8-1, Step 1, but heating 2,4-difluorophenylboronic acid (456 mg, 2.89 mmol) and 3,5-dichloro-4-iodobenzyl alcohol (350 mg, 1.155 mmol) in a microwave at 115° C. for 120 minutes, afforded the title intermediate (242 mg) without formation of any appreciable 3,5-dichlorobenzyl alcohol.

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Using essentially the same procedure as for Example 8-1, Step 2, 3,5-dichloro-4-iodobenzoic acid (1900 mg, 6.0 mmol) was reduced to the title intermediate (1050 mg) using 2M borane-methyl sulfide complex in THF (4.0 mL, 8.0 mmol).

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.
