7.1.2. Preparation of 1-Methoxy-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)benzene (2)
2-Methoxy-phenol 1 (5.19 g, 0.04 mol) was dissolved in DMF (25 mL), after addition of K2CO3,(16.6 g, 0.12 mol) a mixture that was heated to 90 °C. Then 2-iodo-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (4.2 mL,0.05 mol) was added dropwise in 30 min. The reaction mixture was then heated under reflux for 24 h.Inorganic residues were filtered off and organic mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure.The obtained crude product was purified using silica gel with AcOEt/Hexane (1/9, v/v) as an elutingsystem (isolated yield 65%). Yellow oil (5.6 g); UPLC/MS purity 99%, tR = 6.52. C9H9F3O2, MW206.16,Monoisotopic Mass 206.06, [M + H]+ 207.1. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.91 (s, 3H, O-CH3), 4.36 (q,J = 8.4 Hz, 2H, O-CH2-CF3), 6.81-7.11 (m, 4H, Ar-H). 13C-NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ 56.4, 68.3, 119.0,121.5, 122.3, 123.8, 126.1, 127.2, 138.9 |

Example-5 Preparation of 1-Methoxy-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy) benzene (X) To a solution of 2-Methoxy phenol (IX) (5 g, 0.04 moles) in N-methyl pyrrolidone (50 ml) were added, potassium carbonate (7.8 g, 0.06 mole) and 2, 2, 2-trifluoroethyl iodide (33.8 g, 0.16 mole) under stirring. The reaction mixture was stirred vigorously at 120°C for 10 hours. Water (150 ml) was added to the reaction mixture and the mixture was extracted in Toluene (250 ml).Organic layer was washed with 1N Sodium hydroxide solution (150 ml), followed by brine wash. The extract was dried over sodium sulphate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give 7.2 g of (X) as oil. Purity (by GC) = 94 % |
