Reaction Steps

2-(4-Chloro-benzenesulfonylmethyl)-1,3,4-trifluoro-benzene (4.0 g, 12.5 mmol) was dissolved in 40 mL dry DMF. (2-Bromo-ethoxy)-tert-butyl-dimethylsilane (4.1 g, 17.1 mmol) and NaH (2.28 g, 95.0 mmol) were added respectively. The solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. 200 mL of water and 200 mL of EtOAc were added. The aqueous layer washed with 100 mL of EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine (100 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The product was purified using column chromatography (hex./EtOAc 100/0 to 90/10 in 45 min, 1.7 g, 28%). 1H NMR (CDCl3 400 MHz) δ 7.65 (m, 2H), 7.46 (m, 2H), 7.14 (m, 1H), 6.84 (m, 0.5H), 6.73 (m, 0.5H), 4.87 (m, 1H), 4.79 (m, 1H), 4.37 (m, 1H), 2.55 (m, 2H), 2.04 (s, 9H), −0.13 (d, J=22.7 Hz, 6H).
