Procedure

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, a stirred mixture of 4.0 grams (0.025 mole) of 2-trifluoromethylphenol, 17.8 mL (0.178 mole) of 1,3-dibromopropane, and 9.0 grams (0.065 mole) of potassium carbonate in 120 mL of acetone was heated at reflux for about 18 hours. After this time, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to a residual oil. The oil was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel. Elution was accomplished using petroleum ether. The product containing fractions were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure, yielding 5.9 grams of 2-trifluoromethylphenyl 3-bromopropyl ether. The NMR spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure.
