4-Bromophenol → HCID 21931268, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromophenol (2.2 g, 12.7 mmol) and 4-bromo-1,1,1-trifluorobutane (2.4 g, 12.7 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (15 mL) was added K2CO3 (3.5 g, 25.4 mmol). The mixture was stirred at rt overnight. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc (120 mL) and the solids were removed by filtration. The filtrate was washed with water and sat'd aq NaCl, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (40 g silica gel, eluted with EtOAc in hexanes) to provide Intermediate 11A (3.05 g, 85%) as a colorless oil.
