Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-fluoro-5-methylsulfonyl-phenol (4.2 g, 22.08 mmol), 1,2-dibromoethane (24 ml, 27.7 mmol) and potassium carbonate (6.1 g, 44.2 mmol) in acetonitrile (36 ml) was divided into 6 aliquots which were each heated under microwave radiation at 120° C. for 30 min. The reaction mixtures were cooled to room temperature, filtrated and pooled. The volatiles were evaporated, aqueous sodium carbonate (100 ml, 10%) was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 ml). The combined organic phase was washed with brine (75 ml), dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated. Purification by flash column chromatography (ethyl acetate/isooctane, 0:1 to 1:0) gave the title compound (4.77 g, 73%). MS m/z (relative intensity, 70 eV 298 (M+, 18), 296 (M+, 18), 109 (bp), 107 (99), 82 (15).
