Reaction Steps

A mixture of (4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-acetic acid methyl ester (11.7 mmol, 3.0 g), trimethyl-trifluoromethyl-silane and cesium fluoride in THF may be stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Hydrochloride may be added upon consumption of ester as indicated by TLC. The mixture may be stirred further at room temperature until the intermediate disappears as indicated by TLC to provide 3-(4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-1,1,1-trifluoro-propan-2-one.
