Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,4-difluoro-5-methylbenzaldehyde (100 mg, 0.64 mmol) and 4-chloro-3-trifluoromethylphenol (126 mg, 0.64 mmol) in DMSO was added potassium carbonate. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 36 hours. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate (30 mL) and washed with water (2×50 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified using reverse phase column chromatography eluting with acetonitrile:water (plus 0.1% aqueous formic acid) 5:95 to 100:0 to furnish the title compound as a white solid 104 mg, 49%.
