Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-(1-bromo-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethyl)-3,5-dichloro-benzene (2.0 g, 6.51 mmol) in 1,2-dichlorobenzene (25 mL), were added 1-(4-vinyl-phenyl)-1H-[1,2,4]triazole (2.22 g, 13.0 mmol), CuCl (64 mg, 0.65 mmol) and 2,2-bipyridyl (0.2 g, 1.3 mmol). The resultant reaction mixture was degassed with argon for 30 min, then stirred at 180° C. for 24 h. After completion of reaction (TLC), the reaction mixture was cooled to RT and filtered and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash chromatography (SiO2, 100-200 mesh; 25-30% EtOAc in petroleum ether) afforded the title compound as an off-white solid (0.8 g, 32%): mp 93-97° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.56 (s, 1H), 8.11 (s, 1H), 7.68 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 7.54 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 7.38 (t, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.29 (s, 2H), 6.62 (d, J=15.6 Hz, 1H), 6.42 (dd, J=15.6, 8.2 Hz, 1H), 4.15 (m, 1H); ESIMS m/z 398.05 ([M+H]+).
