Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-benzofuran-6-ol (418.5 mg, 3.1 mmol) in 6 ml of DMF was added 3-Chloro-4-fluorobenzotrifluoride (681.4 mg, 3.4 mmol) and cesium carbonate (1.5 g, 4.7 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, it was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water (2×) and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified on a silica gel column, eluting with ethyl acetate (0-30%) in hexane. The final product was collected as colorless oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3, δ ppm): 6.8 (s, 1H), 7.0 (two d, 2H), 7.2 (s, 1H), 7.4 (d, 1H), 7.6 (d, 1H), 7.7 (s, 1H), 7.8 (s, 1H).
