Procedure: A solution of methanesulfonic acid 3-fluoro-propyl ester (34.5 g, 221 mmol) in 250 mL of anhydrous DMF was treated with solid potassium phthalimide (49 g, 265 mmol, 1.2 equiv) at 25° C. The resulting suspension was warmed to 70-80° C. for 2 hours. When 1H NMR showed that the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was treated with H2O (200 mL). The aqueous solution was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with H2O (3×100 mL) and dried over MgSO4. The solvent was removed in vacuo to afford the desired 2-(3-fluoro-propyl)-isoindole-1,3-dione (45.4 g, 45.5 g theoretical, 99.7% yield) as a white powder. The aqueous solution was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL) The combined organic layers were washed with H2O (3×100 mL) dried over MgSO4 The solvent was removed in vacuo

Procedure: A solution of 3-fluoro-propan-1-ol (31.2 g, 400 mmol) in 300 mL of CH2Cl2 was treated with methanesulfonyl chloride (55 g, 38 mL, 480 mmol, 1.2 equiv) at 0° C. The resulting reaction mixture was gradually warmed to room temperature and stirred for 1-2 hours. When 1H NMR showed the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was treated with H2O (100 mL), and the two layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with H2O (3×100 mL) and dried over MgSO4. The solvent was removed in vacuo to afford the desired methanesulfonic acid 3-fluoro-propyl ester (57.2 g, 91% yield) as a yellow oil. The resulting reaction mixture the two layers were separated The aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×100 mL) The combined organic layers were washed with H2O (3×100 mL) dried over MgSO4 The solvent was removed in vacuo

Procedure: To a stirred mixture of 2.62 g (0.00830 mole) of ethyl 3-[2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-(1,4-dihydro-5-oxo-5H-tetrazol-1-yl)phenyl]propenoate in 20 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide was added 1.46 g (0.00939 mole) of 3-fluoropropyl methanesulfonate and 1.30 g (0.00939 mole) of potassium carbonate. The reaction mixture was heated at 50°-60° C. and was stirred at that temperature for approximately 18 hours. The mixture was cooled and was poured into ice water. This mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and was filtered. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to yield 0.76 g of ethyl 3-[2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-[4-(3-fluoropropyl)-1,4-dihydro-5-oxo-5H-tetrazol-1-yl]phenyl]propenoate as an oil, compound 4 of Table 1. The reaction mixture was heated at 50°-60° C. The mixture was cooled This mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate The extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate was filtered The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure

Procedure: To an ice cold, stirred solution of 19.0 g (0.244 mole) of 3-fluoropropanol and 39.5 g (0.300 mole) of triethylamine in 300 mL of methylene chloride was added dropwise 34.4 g (0.300 mole) of methanesulfonyl chloride. The resultant mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and was stirred for approximately 18 hours. The mixture was poured into water and was washed with an aqueous, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and was filtered. The filtrate was distilled under reduced pressure to yield 41.3 g of 3-fluoropropyl methanesulfonate as a liquid, bp 116° C./15 mm Hg. was washed with an aqueous, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution The organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate was filtered The filtrate was distilled under reduced pressure
