2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)propan-2-ol

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

Procedure: MeMgBr (1.83 ml of a 3M solution in diethyl ether, 5.5 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 2,4-difluoroacetophenone (782 mg, 5.0 mmol) in diethyl ether (20 ml) at 0° C. The reaction was warmed to room temperature and after 1 hour was quenched and washed with water (2×20 ml), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title product as colourless oil (800 mg, 93%). was quenched washed with water (2×20 ml) dried (MgSO4) concentrated under reduced pressure
