Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-trifluoromethyl-pyridine-2-thiol (6.99 g, 39.0 mmol), 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (4.79 g, 38.6 mmol), anhydrous K2CO3 (8.16 g, 59.1 mmol) and DMF (70 mL) was heated at 110° C. for 18 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and partitioned between MTBE and water. The phases were separated. The organic extracts were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to give a crude product which was purified by flash column chromatography (eluent: 5% MTBE in petroleum ether). Evaporation of the appropriate fractions gave the product (9.47 g, 87% yield). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 10.06 (s, 1H), 8.69-8.66 (m, 1H), 7.97-7.92 (m, 2H), 7.78-7.72 (m, 3H), 7.23-7.16 (m, 1H).
