Ethyl trifluoroacetate (2.35 g, 1.66 mmol) was placed in a 50 mL round bottom flask, and dissolved in methyl tert-butyl ether (7.5 mL). To the stirred solution was added 25 weight % sodium methoxide (4.0 mL, 17.7 mmol) via an addition funnel over a 2 minute period. Next, 4′-fluoroacetophenone (2.1 g, 15 mmol) was dissolved in methyl tert-butyl ether (2 mL), and added to the reaction dropwise over 5 minutes. After stirring overnight (15.75 hours), 3N HCl (7.0 mL) was added. The organic layer was collected, washed with brine (7.5 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give 3.2 g of pale-orange solid. The solid was recrystallized from iso-octane to give 2.05 g of the dione.
