反応手順

Trimethylsulfonium iodide (4.08 g, 20.0 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (15 mL) was stirred with sodium hydride (55 wt % dispersion in mineral oil, 873 mg, 20.0 mmol) at room temperature for 1 hour and then with 4-(trifluoromethyl)styrene (2.96 g, 17.0 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (10 mL) at room temperature for 2 hours. After addition of water, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=9/1 (v/v)) to give the title compound as a colorless oil (2.59 g, yield 81%).
