1-bromo-2-(1-ethoxyethoxymethyl)-4-fluorobenzene

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:

Conditions: temp:-78.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Dissolve 1-bromo-2-(1-ethoxy-ethoxymethyl)-4-fluoro-benzene(5.4 g, 19.5 mmol) in dry THF (100 mL) and cool to −78° C. under nitrogen. Add butyl lithium (2.5M in Hexanes, 10.2 mL, 25.4 mmol) dropwise at −78° C. Upon complete addition, stir the reaction at −78° C. for 10 minutes and then add trimethyl borate (4.4 mL, 39 mmol) and warm the reaction to room temperature. Pour the reaction into 1N HCl (100 mL) and stir for 1 hour. Extract the biphasic mixture with ether three times. Dry the combined organic layers with sodium sulfate, filter and concentrate in vacuo. Triturate the oily residue with cold hexanes to yield 2.1 g (70%) of the title compound as a white solid. 1H NMR (d6-DMSO) 9.18 (s, 1H), 7.70 (dd, J=8.2, 5.8 Hz, 1H), 7.20 (dd, J=9.5, 2.7 Hz, 1H), 7.11 (m, 1H), 4.92 (s, 1H). dropwise at −78° C Upon complete addition the reaction at −78° C. for 10 minutes the reaction to room temperature Pour stir for 1 hour Extract the biphasic mixture with ether three times Dry the combined organic layers with sodium sulfate filter concentrate in vacuo Triturate the oily residue with cold hexanes

Procedure: Dissolve commercially available (2-bromo-5-fluoro-phenyl)-methanol (4.8 g, 23.4 mmol) in methylene chloride (100 mL) and cool to 0° C. Add PPTS (590 mg, 2.3 mmol) followed by ethyl vinyl ether (3.4 mL, 35.1 mmol). Warm reaction to room temperature slowly after addition. After 4 hours, pour the reaction into saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and extract with methylene chloride. Dry with sodium sulfate, filter and concentrate in vacuo to yield 5.4 g (83%) of the title compound as a clear and colorless oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3) 37.47 (dd, J=8.6, 5.0 Hz, 1M), 7.27 (dd, J=9.6, 3.1 Hz, 1H), 6.87 (td, J=8.0, 3.1 Hz, 1H), 4.89 (q, J=5.5 Hz, 1H), 4.65 (d, J=13.8 Hz, 1H), 4.54 (d, J=13.8 Hz, 1H), 3.70 (m, 1H), 3.55 (m, 1H), 1.42 (d, J=5.5 Hz, 3H), 1.22 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H).
