Diethyl Ether → 1-[3-Ethoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethanone

Temperatur

-70 °C

To a solution of 3-ethoxy-4-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile from step 5 (5.00 g, 23.2 mmol), copper(I) bromide (100 mg, 0.7 mmol), tert.-butyldimethylchlorosilane (4.20 g, 27.9 mmol) in dry THF (30 mL) at −70° C. was drop wise added a 3 M methylmagnesium bromide solution in diethyl ether (13.2 mL, 39.6 mmol). The mixture was stirred at −70° C. for 10 min, then was warmed up to 0° C. and stirring was continued at 0° C. for further 2 h under nitrogen atmosphere. Poured the reaction mixture onto ice and sat. NH4Cl-sol., extracted three times with diethyl ether, washed the combined organic layers with brine, dried over MgSO4. Removal of the solvent in vacuum left a brown oil, which was purified by silica gel column chromatography with heptane/EtOAc 4:1 to give the title compound as a yellow liquid (1.84 g, 34%). MS (EI) 232 [M].
