Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 3-fluoro-4-nitrophenol (200 mg, 1.3 mmol) in dimethylformamide (3 ml) at 0° C. under argon was treated portionwise with sodium hydride (60 mg of 60% oil dispersion, 1.5 mmol) and maintained for 20 minutes. The mixture was treated with trifluoroethyl triflate (325 mg, 1.4 mmol), then allowed to warm to room temperature and stir overnight. The yellow solution was treated with water (40 ml) and brine (5 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under vacuum to leave the title compound as a yellow oil (280 mg, 92%).
