Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (1 g, 5.09 mmol), 2-fluoro-5-formylbenzonitrile (0.759 g, 5.09 mmol) and K2CO3 (0.844 g, 6.11 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was heated with a microwave condition at 130° C. for 4 h. The solution was diluted with EA and washed with water twice, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound (1.59 g, 96% yield) as a yellow solid. LCMS: rt=3.54 min, [M+H+]=326
