Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-[1,1′-biphenyl]-2-carbaldehyde (1.9 g, 7.3 mmol) and was added TMSCF3 (1.2 g, 8.7 mmol) in THF (20 mL) and cooled to 0° C. To this solution was added TBAF (1.46 mL, 1M in THF) and the reaction mixture was warmed to RT for 3 h. After this time, the mixture was treated with 3 N HCl (5 mL) and stirred for 12 h. Then the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated in vacuo and purified by normal phase silica gel column (EtOAc:PE=1:10) to afford 1-(5-bromo-[1,1′-biphenyl]-2-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol as a colorless oil.
