Thionyl chloride (50 mL, 680 mmol) was added to 2,4,5-trifluorobenzoic acid (10 g, 57 mmol) and the mixture stirred at 55° C. for 18 hours. After cooling, the excess thionyl chloride was removed in vacuo. The resulting crude oil was azeotroped twice with DCM (30 mL) and toluene (20 mL) and the residue redissolved in DCM (50 mL), then cooled to 0° C. with an ice bath. A mixture of 4-methylphenol (6.4 g, 59 mmol) and triethylamine (10 mL, 71 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) was added over 30 minutes. The reaction was allowed to warm up to room temperature over 1 hour. The crude reaction mixture was partitioned between EtOAc (200 mL) and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (70 mL). The aqueous layer was further extracted with EtOAc (100 mL). The combined organic extracts were combined, washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (70 mL) and water (100 mL). The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to provide a crude solid, which was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 5% EtOAc in heptane to provide the title compound (10.08 g, 66%) as a white solid.
