Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution containing 5 g (0.022 mole) of 3,5-ditrifluoromethylphenol, 1.6 g (0.024 mole) of 85% potassium hydroxide, 10 ml of water and 200 ml of acetone, 0.024 mole of chloroacetamide was added in one portion. The stirred reaction mixture was heated at 56°-60° C. for 22 hours. After cooling to 0° C., 600 g of ice water was added and stirring continued at 0°-10° C. for 30 minutes. The resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with water until neutral to litmus and air dried at 25°-30° C. A product with a melting point of 139°-141° C. (determined after recrystallization from 6:1 mixture of heptane and isopropyl alcohol) was obtained with a 32% yield.
