Procedure

A mixture of 3,4,5-trifluoronitrobenzene (6.6 g, 37 mmol), dry DMF (30 ml), 4-chlorophenol (5.26 g, 41 mmol), and Cs2CO3 (18.8 g, 58 mmol) was stirred under N2 at 60-70 C for 1-2 hrs. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was partitioned between H2O and EtOAc. The phases were separated and the aqueous phase was further extracted with EtOAc (2×). The EtOAc extractions were washed with sat'd NaCl (1×), dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo to give 4-(4-chlorophenoxy)-3,5-difluoronitrobenzene (11.3 g, 106%) which was used in the next step without further purification. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 6.90 (d, 2H, J=7.6 Hz), 7.28 (d, 2H, J=7.6 Hz), 7.94 (d, 2H, J=6.4 Hz). Note: K2CO3/acetonitrile can be used in lieu of Cs2CO3/DMF.
