Sodium hydride → HCID 14517035, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 0.18 g of sodium hydride (60% oil dispersion) was added to 20 ml of dry THF. A solution of 1.0 g of 2-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-3,3,3-trifluoropropanol and 1.17 g of 3-phenoxybenzyl bromide in 10 ml of dry THF was then added with ice-cooling, and the reaction solution was stirred at room temperature for 14 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 water 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 1.2 g of the desired compound.
