Participants

Reaction Steps

The solids from Example 1 were combined with 375 mL of acetone, and 61.08 g of potassium carbonate. With stirring, 55.77 g of dimethyl sulfate was added, and the entire mixture was heated to reflux for 1.5 h. After cooling, 500 mL of water was added and the reaction was acidified with HCl to a pH of 1.0. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and washed with water. After drying with magnesium sulfate and removal of the solvent, 45.08 g of a yellow solid was collected. The solid was assayed as 72% 4-methoxy-3,5,6-trifluoro-N-methylphthalimide. 19F NMR (ppm acetone d6): -133.0 (m), -140.8 (m), -142.6 (m), 1H NMR (ppm acetone d6) 3.05 (s), 4.19 (s).
