Reaction Steps

A solution consisting of 1-(4-bromo-2-fluoro-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone oxime (3.2 g, 11 mmol), 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) (1.1 mL, 7.4 mmol) and THF (42 mL) was heated at 150° C. via microwave irradiation for 30 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (25 mL) and washed with HCl (1 N aq., 25 mL). The organic layer was then dried (Na2SO4), concentrated and purified (FCC) to yield the title compound (1.97 g, 66%).
