Then 5 mL 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide to solution and ethyl bromoacetic acid (2.65 mL; 22 mmol) was added and the mixture was refluxed for 30 hours. Then the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane and concentrated to provide 1 g (4.46 mmol; 20% yield) of 1-methanesulfonyl-3-trifluoromethylbenzene as a solid.
