Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,4,5-trifluoro-3-trifluoro methanesulfonyl benzoic acid, methyl ester (22.0 g, 0.065 mol) in dioxane (100 mL) was added tri-n-butyl vinyl tin (21.6 g, 0.068 mol), lithium chloride (16.7 g, 0.37 mL) 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol (0.08 g) and palladium-tetra-triphenyl phosphine (1.1 g). The mixture was heated at 98° C. for 12 hours, cooled, diluted with ether and filtered through celite. The ether layer was concentrated and the resulting residue suspended in hexane and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to a yellow oil which was immediately dissolved in methanol (250 mL) and 1N sodium hydroxide (150 mL . The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours, diluted with water and ether. The aqueous layer was acidified (pH 2) with 6N HCl and extracted with methylene chloride. The organic layer was dried and concentrated to provide the desired product (9.6 g, 77%); mp 108°-110° C.
