Procedure

To a solution of 4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)-benzylalcohol (0.27 g, 1.28 mmol) and 2,4,5-trifluorobenzonitrile (0.2 g, 1.28 mmol) in DMSO (5 mL) was added potassium carbonate (0.33 g, 0.25 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between water (15 mL) and EtOAc (20 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated to yield the title compound (0.43 g, 97%).
