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 α,α,α-trifluoro-p-tolualdehyde (86 ul, 0.633 mmol) similar to Example 1 and isolated as a yellow solid (60.1 mg, 12.7%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): 7.70 (d, J=15.6 Hz, 1H), 7.67 (q, J=8.6, 14.9 Hz, 4H), 7.55 (d, J=15.6 Hz, 1H), 7.33 (d, J=3.3 Hz, 1H), 7.15 (dd, J=3.3, 9.0 Hz, 1H), 6.95 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 4.46-4.34 (m, 4H).
