Reaction Steps

Charge 2-bromo-4-fluoro-benzaldehyde (6.1 g, 30.1 mmol) and trifluoromethyl trimethylsilane (5.4 g, 36.1 mmol) in THF (50 mL) in a 100-mL round bottom flask. Cool the solution to 0° C. under N2. Add Bu4NF (0.3 g, 1.20 mmol). Stir the mixture at 0° C. for another hour. Add hydrogen chloride (40 mL, 1 M, 40 mmol) to the mixture. Stir the mixture at RT overnight. Dilute the reaction mixture with chloroform. Wash the organic layer with water/aqueous saturated sodium chloride, dry over sodium sulfate, and concentrate in vacuo to give the crude product. Purify by FCC (hexanes/ethyl acetate, 4/1) to give the title compound as a yellow oil (7.40 g, 90%). MS (ES) m/z 273/275 [M+1]+.
