Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (1 g, 5.55 mmol), 2-fluoro-5-formylbenzonitrile (0.828 g, 5.55 mmol) and K2CO3 (0.921 g, 6.66 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was heated with a microwave condition at 130° C. for 2 h. The solution was diluted with EA and washed with water twice, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound (1.74 g, 101% yield) as a brown oil. LCMS: rt=3.38 min, [M+H+]=310
