ethyl 2-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]acetate

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A mixture of 2-trifluoromethylphenol (1.62 g) in anhydrous acetonitrile was treated with cesium carbonate (3.25 g) and ethyl bromoacetate (1.75 g) and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and ethyl acetate and the organic layer washed with water and dried with brine and over sodium sulfate. Evaporation of ethyl acetate gave the title compound as a colourless oil. the organic layer washed with water dried with brine and over sodium sulfate Evaporation of ethyl acetate

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.
