Reaction Steps

A solution of NaOH at 33% (17 cc) is added dropwise to a solution of 3-trifluoromethylphenol (2.5) and 1,2-dibromoethane (30.0 g) in deionized water (30 cc). The resulting mixture is kept under refluxing conditions for 7 hours. The reaction mixture is then cooled, the oil formed is separated from the aqueous phase and distilled under a pressure of 15 mm Hg. The fraction within the range of from 118° to ° C. is collected. 26 g of the desired product is obtained.
