After the reaction, the solution was cooled to room temperature, and water was added for extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried with magnesium sulfate, filtrated, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate=20:1 to 8:1 to 1:1), and the aimed {4-(pentafluorophenyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl}(triflyl)methane (3.91 g, 8.46 mmol, 94% yield) was isolated.
