Tetrahydrofuran → 5-(2-Fluoro-4-vinylphenoxy)-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 3-fluoro-4-((2-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-5-yl)oxy)benzaldehyde (2 g, 6.99 mmol) and methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (2.496 g, 6.99 mmol) in dry THF (40 mL) was added NaH (0.978 g, 24.46 mmol) under nitrogen at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The organic layer was washed three times with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. Purification via flash chromatography afforded the title compound (540 mg, 1.900 mmol, 27.2% yield). LCMS: rt=3.65 min, [M+H+]=285
