2-Bromo-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethan-1-one → HCID 66939373, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the compound (209 mg, 1.0 mmol) obtained in Example 178a in ethanol (4 mL) was added 2-bromo-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethanone (267 mg, 1.0 mmol), and the mixture was heated under reflux for 1.5 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, the residue was diluted with diluted aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (carrier: silica gel, eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (346 mg, 92%) as a colorless oil.
