Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-fluoro-6-[(α,α,α-trifluoro-m-tolyl)oxy]pyrimidine (87.4 g, 0.34 mol), α,α,α-trifluoro-4-nitro-m-cresol (84.9 g, 0.41 mol) and potassium carbonate (55 g, 0.40 mol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (1 L) is stirred at room temperature until the reaction is complete by thin layer chromatography analysis (8:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate). The reaction mixture is then poured into water and the resultant aqueous mixture is extracted with diethyl ether. The organic extract is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to obtain a solid. The solid is recrystallized from an ethyl acetate/heptane solution to give the title product as a white solid (108 g, 71% yield).
