Sodium hydride → HCID 14053992, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 113 mg of sodium hydride (60% oil dispersion) was added to 20 ml of dry DMF. A solution of 0.60 g of 2-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-3,3,3-trifluoropropanol and 0.65 g of 4-fluoro-3-phenoxybenzyl bromide in 5 ml of dry DMF was then added at room temperature, and the reaction solution was stirred at that temperature for 15 hours. Thereafter, the reaction mixture was poured into dilute HCl-ice water and extracted twice with diethyl ether. The ether layers were combined, washed with saturated sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under a reduced pressure, and the residue was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel [eluted with n-hexane/ethyl acetate (25:1) mixture] to obtain 0.64 g of the desired compound.
