Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 4-nitrophenol (1.10 g, 0.0079 mole) and 3,4,4-trifluoro-3-butenoyl chloride (1.85 g, 0.0116 mole) in dry ether (15 mL) is treated dropwise with triethylamine (1.01 g, 0.01 mole) at -78° C. with stirring. The mixture is stirred at -78° C. for 10 min and allowed to reach room temperature. The reaction mixture is diluted with ether (20 mL), stirred with 15 mL of 2 N HCl. The organic layer is successively washed with water, 5% sodium bicarbonate, brine, and dried. The dark brown residue obtained after evaporation of the solvent was purified by passing through a short column of silica gel to give 1.9 g of the product as a brown solid, a 91% yield. m.p. 58°-62° C.
