Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-iodophenol (200 mg) in dimethylsulfoxide (1 ml), 218 mg of 2-chloro-1-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene and 251 mg of potassium carbonate were added, and the reaction solution was stirred at 120° C. for 3 hours. The reaction solution was cooled, ethyl acetate was added, the insoluble matter was filtered off, and the filtrate was washed with water and a saturated saline solution and dried over an anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate (98:2-80/20)) to afford the title compound as a colorless oil.
