Participants

Reaction Steps

Triflic anhydride (2.82 g) was added dropwise to a mixture of 4-(1-imidazolyl)phenol (Aldrich Chemical Company) and triethylamine (1.1 g) in dichloromethane (30 ml). The mixture was stirred for 18 hours. The mixture was evaporated and the residue partitioned between diethyl ether and water. The organic phase was separated, washed with water, dried (MgSO4) and evaported. The residue was triturated with cyclohexane to give crude 4-(1-imidazolyl)phenyl triflate (1.7 g) as a solid, which was used without further purification; m/Z 293 (M+H).
