Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner analogous to the preparation of Example 83(a), 3-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-propan-1-ol (0.94 g, 4.61 mmol), Et3N (1.28 mL, 9.22 mmol) and MsCl (0.44 mL, 5.53 mmol) gave the desired compound as a light brown oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.10-2.16 (m, 2H), 2.82-2.86 (t, 2H) 3.02 (s, 3H), 4.24-4.28 (t, 2H), 7.38-7.52 (m, 4H).
