Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (80% dispersion in oil, 0.045 g) was added to a mixture of benzyl alcohol (4 ml) and THF (3 ml) and warmed gently until effervescence ceased. To the cooled solution was added 1,2-epoxy-3-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]propane (2.12 g). After stirring for 3 h the mixture was poured into ER (50 ml) and washed with brine. The dried extracts were evaporated and the residue distilled (b.p. 140°-144°/0.03 mm) to yield the title compound as an oil (2.25 g).
