Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared by heating a mixture of 2,5-bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)acetophenone (200 mg, 0.633 mmol) and p-anisaldehyde (77 ul, 0.633 mmol) similar to Example 1 and isolated as a yellow solid (75 mg, 27.3%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): 7.66 (d, J=15.9 Hz, 1H), 7.56 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 2H), 7.32 (d, J=15.6 Hz, 1H), 7.28 (d, J=3.3 Hz, 2H), 7.11 (dd, J=3.3, 9.0 Hz, 1H), 6.94 (t, J=8.7 Hz, 2H), 4.44-4.33 (m, 4H), 3.86 (s, 3H).
