Reaction Steps

A solution of 100 mg (0.29 mmol) of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-[4-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethylamino)-phenyl]-propan-2-ol in 0.5 mL tBuOH was treated with 0.1 mL (0.84 mmol) of benzylbromide and stirred at 100° C. for 10 hours in a sealed tube. Evaporation of the solvent and column chromatography on silicagel with n-heptane/EtOAc 8:1 yielded 10 mg (8%) of 2-{4-[benzyl-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethyl)-amino]-phenyl}-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-propan-2-ol, blue oil, MS: 432 (MH+).
