Cesium fluoride → HCID 68458802, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-fluorophenylmaleic anhydride (1.42 g, 7.39 mmol) (prepared by procedures similar to those described in Dean, W. D.; Bum, D. M. J. Org. Chem. 1993, 58, 7916-7917), in acetonitrile (15 ml) at 0° C. (ice/water/sodium chloride bath—temperature of the bath −10° C.), was added CsF (1.1 g, 7.39 mmol), followed by the drop-wise addition of CF3SiMe3 (1 ml, 7.39 mmol), under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h, and then diluted with diethyl ether and extracted with 2M sodium hydroxide (200 ml). The organic layer was removed and the aqueous layer acidified to pH=1 by the addition of conc. hydrochloric acid. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane and the organic layer removed, dried (Na2SO4), and the solvent evaporated in vacuo to yield D5 (1.4 g, 72%) as a mixture of isomers. C11H6F4O3 requires 262 Found 261 (M-H−).
