Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromo-3-methyl-benzaldehyde oxime (2.600 g, 12.15 mmol) from example S.1 in DMF (40 mL) was added N-chloro succinimide (1.700 g, 12.73 mmol) and the mixture was heated at 70° C. (bath temperature) for 1 h. After cooling to 0° C., a solution of 1,3-dichloro-5-(1-trifluoromethyl-vinyl)-benzene (2.900 g, 12.03 mmol) in DMF (8 mL), followed by triethylamine (2.00 g, 2.75 mL, 19.8 mmol) was added. After 1 h at this temperature, the cooling bath was removed and the mixture was stirred over night. The mixture was separated between MTBE and aqueous NH4Cl solution. The organic layer was separated and the solvent was removed in vacuum. Column chromatography on SiO2 with heptane/CH2Cl2 gave the title compound (2.95 g, 54%).
