Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under an argon atmosphere, to a mixture of 2.47 g of N-(2-bromobenzyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide and 25 ml of toluene were added 1.02 g of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) and 3.10 g of tributylvinyltin, followed by stirring at 130° C. for 17 hours. The reaction mixture was left to be cooled to room temperature, and ethyl acetate and a 10% aqueous potassium fluoride solution were then added thereto, followed by stirring. The reaction mixture was filtered over Celite and the organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was then evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 1.71 g of 2,2,2-trifluoro-N-(2-vinylbenzyl)acetamide.
