Reaction Steps

Acetonitrile (3.5 L) and zinc (Zn) (0.462 mol) were put in a 2-bulb flask and mixed at 80° C. Then, 3-(2-bromotetrafluoroethoxy)bromobenzene prepared in (1) was slowly dropped for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 10 hours and then evaporated. The unpurified product was extracted with hexane. Hexane remaining in the filtrate was removed using a vacuum evaporator to obtain 3-[(trifluorovinyl)oxy]bromobenzene, which is in liquid state at room temperature (yield: 79.4%).
