Reaction Steps

Potassium tert-butoxide (236 mg, 2.1 mmol) was added to a solution of 5-bromo-2-fluorobenzotrifluoride (485 mg, 2.0 mmol) and 2-trifluoromethyl-2-propanol (0.24 mL, 2.2 mmol) in DMI (0.5 mL) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for two hours. The reaction solution was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 4-bromo-1-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1,1-dimethyl-ethoxy)-2-trifluoromethyl-benzene (349 mg, 50%).
