Procedure
221 mg (0.561 mmol) of tert-butyl [3-chloro-5-(3-chloro-5-cyanophenoxy)phenoxy]acetate (5-2) was treated with neat trifluoroacetic acid until an LC/MS analysis indicated that the reaction was complete. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo and no further purification was done on the resultant desired product 5-3 which was isolated as an oil. MS: M+1=338.
