Cesium carbonate → HCID 57633709, compound

Temperature

120 °C

To a solution of 4-amino-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (0.100 g, 0.54 mmol) in acetonitrile (3 mL) was added cesium carbonate (0.438 g, 1.34 mmol) and 1-bromo-2-fluoroethane (0.340 g, 2.68 mmol). The mixture was heated in a microwave at 120° C. for 15 min. Upon cooling, additional 1-bromo-2-fluoroethane (0.340 g, 2.68 mmol) was added and the reaction was heated in the microwave at 140° C. for 20 min. Upon cooling, the solids were filtered off and washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by radial chromatography (10-40% ethyl acetate-hexane gradient) to give 0.100 g of a mixture (6:1) of the title compound and 4-[bis(2-fluoroethyl)amino]-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile as a white solid, which was used as such in the next reaction.
