Procedure

A mixture of 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (4.86 g, 1 equiv), 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (3.22 mL, 1 equiv), potassium carbonate (4.15 g, 1 equiv) and dimethylformamide (60 mL) was stirred at 150° C. under argon for 3 hours, then poured into ice/water. The precipitate was filtered off, washed with water, then extracted with hot ethanol. Undissolved solid was removed by filtration, and the filtrate evaporated and purified by chromatography on silica. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.14 (4H, m), 7.66 (2H, m), 7.90 (2H, m), 9.97 (1H, s); MS (APCI+) found (M+1)=267; C14H9F3O2 requires 266.
