Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-fluoro-2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene (1.5 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) were added 4-piperidinemethanol (1.49 g) and potassium carbonate (1.79 g), and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. overnight. Water/ethyl acetate were added to the reaction mixture, and the organic layer was separated, washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (1.84 g).
