Procedure

A mixture of 2,4,5-trifluoronitrobenzene (5.4 g, 30.8 mmol), benzylalcohol (3.2 mL, 30.8 mmol) and potassium carbonate (6.4 g, 46.1 mmol), in DMF (20 mL), was stirred at ambient temperature for 72 h. Water (60 mL) was added and the mixture was cooled at 4° C. for 24 h. The resultant precipitate was filtered, rinsed with water and dried in vacuo to afford the product (7.5 g, 92%) as a pale yellow solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.90-7.94 (m, 1H), 7.38-7.44 (m, 5H), 6.85-6.90 (m, 1H), 5.22 (s, 2H).
