A mixture of 4-fluoro-3-methoxybenzotrifluoride (5.26 g, 28.9 mmol), phenol (2.71 g, 28.8 mmol) and 325 mesh potassium carbonate (4.79 g, 34.7 mmol) in dry DMSO (50 mL) is heated to 130° C. and stirred for 17 hours under N2. The reaction is filtered, and the filtrate is acidified with 1 N HCl. The mixture is diluted with water and extracted with Et2O. The organic layer is dried (Na2SO4), and the solvent is removed in vacuo to afford crude product that is absorbed on silica gel and purified by flash chromatography using 15/1 hexanes/ethyl acetate to afford 3.79 g (49%) of the title compound (Rf=0.47 (4/1 hexanes/EtOAc) that is contaminated with starting 4-fluoro-3-methoxybenzotrifluoride.
