Reaction Steps

A solution of one mole equivalent of m-trifluoromethoxybenzaldehyde in dry tetrahydrofuran is combined with 5 mole equivalents of diiodomethane, 9 mole equivalents of zinc powder, 1 mole equivalent of titanium tetraisopropoxide, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The product is extracted from the mixture after removal of solvent in vacuo to give m-trifluoromethoxyphenylethene.
