Participants

Reaction Steps

Bis(4-fluorophenyl)-3-fluorophenylmethanol (999 mg, 3.18 mmol) was added to a 20% solution of acetyl chloride in dichloromethane (10 mL) at rt. The resulting purple solution was stirred for 12 h after which the solvent was removed by evaporation. Toluene (20 mL) was added to the residue and then evaporated affording crude bis(4-fluorophenyl)-3-fluorophenylchloromethane which was used in the next step without purification.
