Ethyl Acetate → (2,4-Dichloro-phenyl)-(6-hydroxy-3-trifluoromethyl-benzofuran-2-yl)-methanone

Temperature

90 °C

To a solution of 1-(2,4-dihydroxy-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone (1.00 g, 4.85 mmol) and 2-chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethanone (1.08 g, 4.85 mmol, 1.0 eq) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) was added potassium carbonate (1.01 g, 7.28 mmol, 1.5 eq). The reaction mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 16 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and then poured into ethyl acetate (100 mL) and water (100 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (2×100 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtrated, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography eluted with 5% EtOAc/hexane then 30% EtOAc/hexane solution to afford a yellow solid (610 mg, 33.5%) as product. 1H-NMR (CDCl3): δ7.76 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.52 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.50 (d, J=1.7 Hz, 1H), 7.41 (dd, J=8.1, 1.9 Hz, 1H), 7.01 to 6.95 (m, 2H), 5.49 (s, 1H); LC-MS (MH+=375/377).
