2,6-Diphenylphenol → 2,2-Bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)ethyl-2,6-diphenylphenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

1,1,3,3-Tetrakis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)propane [4] (157.3 mg, 0.28 mmol) was added to an acetonitrile (0.25 ml) solution of 2,6-diphenylphenol (61.9 mg, 0.25 mmol) at room temperature. After 9 hours of stirring, it was purified by Kugelrohr distillation (120° C./3 mmHg) thereby obtaining 4-(2,2-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)ethyl-2,6-diphenylphenol [1n] with a yield of 97% (130.7 mg, 0.24 mmol).
