Sodium hydride → 1-(Trifluoromethyl)-3-(4-vinylphenoxy)benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

NaH (23.66 g, 592 mmol) was added to the solution of 4-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)-benzaldehyde (25 g, 94 mmol) and methyltriphenylphosphonium iodide (36.2 g, 101 mmol) in THF (180 mL) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Purification via a flash column chromatography then afforded the title compound as a colorless oil (24.4 g, 98% yield).
