Reaction Steps

To a stiffing solution of 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (10.0 g, 80.6 mmol) in DMF (150 mL) were added K2CO3 (13.3 g, 96.7 mmol) and 1,2,4-triazole (6.67 g, 96.7 mmol) and the resultant reaction mixture was stirred at 120° C. for 6 h. After completion of reaction (by TLC), the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The combined EtOAc layer was washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound as a solid (9.0 g, 65%): mp 145-149° C.: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 10.08 (s, 1H), 8.70 (s, 1H), 8.16 (s, 1H), 8.06 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.92 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H); ESIMS m/z 173.9 ([M+H]+).
