Participants

Reaction Steps

A colorless solution of 4-(trifluoromethoxy)-benzaldehyde (0.75 mL, 5.3 mmol) in acetone (0.19 mL, 2.6 mmol), EtOH (5 mL) and H2O (1 mL) was treated with aq. 10% NaOH solution (˜12 drops). The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h at room temperature and the colorless solution turned into a yellow suspension. The precipitate was filtered, washed with H2O and dried in vacuo to obtain NW254 as a pale yellow solid (275 mg, 25%). mp: 112-115° C. 1H NMR (250 MHz, CDCl3) δ (ppm): 7.74 (d, 3J=16.1 Hz, 2H, Hvin), 7.67 (d, 3J=8.5 Hz, 4H, HAr), 7.28 (d, 3J=8.2 Hz, 4H, HAr), 7.06 (d, 3J=15.9 Hz, 2H, Hvin.). 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ (ppm): 188.2 (C), 150.6 (C), 141.8 (CH), 133.3 (C), 129.8 (CH), 126.0 (CH), 121.2 (CH). MS (EI) m/z: 402.1 (M+). Anal. calcd for C19H12F6O3: C, 56.73; H, 3.01. Found: C, 56.44; H, 3.10%.
