General Information:

All reactions were performed under a nitrogen atmosphere. All solvents and Grignard reagents were used without further purification

or further analyses. All dihaloaromatics were either commercially-available or prepared using literature known methods. All

reactions were monitored using a X-Select CSH Phenyl Hexyl reverse phase column or an SL Only Monolithic C18 column using a

mobile phase containing mixtures of 0.05% aqueous TFA and acetonitrile. Silica gel chromatography was performed using RediSep®

pre-packed silica gel columns commercially-available from Teledyne Isco (Catalog 69-2203). Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H

NMR) spectra were acquired on either a Bruker 600 MHz or Bruker 300 MHz spectrometer. Carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (1H

NMR) spectra were acquired on a Bruker 151 MHz spectrometer. All NMR spectra are referenced internally according to residual

solvent signals. Data for 1H NMR are recorded as follows: chemical shift (δ, ppm), multiplicity (s, singlet; d, doublet; t, triplet; q,

quartet; m, multiplet), integration, coupling constant (Hz). Data for 13C NMR are reported in terms of chemical shift (δ, ppm).

Melting points are uncorrected and were measured on a Büchi B-540 melting apparatus. All IR spectra were recorded on a Thermo

Electron Corporation Nicolet 6700 FT-IR instrument using a SMART Performer sampling attachment and Ge ATR crystal.

reaction mixture was treated dropwise with methylmagnesium bromide (0.62 mL of a 1.4 M solution in THF:toluene (1:3), 0.86
