Procedure

To 4-Chloro-2-fluoro-phenol (521, 5.0 g, 0.034 mol) in methanol (50.0 mL) was added potassium fluoride (2.2 g, 0.038 mol). The solvent was removed. The resulting salt was added to N,N-dimethylformaldehyde (25 mL), followed by adding 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-iodo-ethane (8.60 g, 40.9 mmol). The reaction was stirred at 50° C. overnight. The reaction was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in hexane to give colorless oil (522, 2.0 g, 26%).
