Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To the mixture of 1.5 g (5.4 mmol) of 2-hydroxy-3-iodo-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, 3.1 mL (20.6 mmol) of ethyl trifluoromethylcrotonate, and 4.2 g(12.9 mmol) of cesium carbonate was added 8 mL of anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide. The mixture was heated to 90° C. overnight. After cooling to room temperature, to the reaction was added 150 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic solution was filtered, washed with brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After removing the volatiles, the residue was purified by silica chromatography with ethyl acetate/hexane (2:8) to give 0.3 g (14%) a light yellow solid: 1H NMR(CDCl3/400 MHz) 7.65(s, 1H), 7.17(d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.50(d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 5.80(q, J=6.8 Hz,1H), 4.30(m, 2H), 3.92(s, 3H), 1.33(t, J=7.6 Hz, 3H). MS (ESI+) 429.0(M+1, 100). HRMS (EI+) m/z calcd for (C14H12F3O4) 427.9732, found 427.9715.
