phenyl 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate

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

Procedure: To demonstrate the storage stability of the compounds of the present invention, test samples of the title compounds of Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 were placed in clear glass vials and kept on top of a laboratory desk for the time indicated. Samples of 2-methyl-1-naphthol, 1-naphthol and phenyl trifluoroacetate used as controls were similarly kept. One sample of 2-methyl-1-naphthol was stored under nitrogen and in a dry ice chest (temperature of approximately -50° C). A second sample of 2-methyl-1-naphthol and the remaining test'samples were stored at room temperature. were stored at room temperature

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

Procedure: To a solution of benzene (0.428 g. 5.49 mmol) and cobalt(II) acetate (0.179 g, 1.01 mmol) in 50 mL of trifluoroacetic acid/10% trifluoroacetic anhydride at 25° C. was added 10 mL of a 0.5 M solution of trifluoroperacetic acid in trifluoroacetic acid/10% trifluoracetic anhydride (cooled to 0° C.) by syringe pump over 20 h with stirring. The reaction mixture was initially a reddish-pink color which turned to dark green-black upon addition of the peracid. After the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was stirred an additional 7 h. then analyzed by gas chromatography using n-octane as an internal standard. The yield of phenyl trifluoroacetate was 56%, with a 58% conversion of benzene (selectivity to phenyl trifluoroacetate=96%) . Addition of water to the reaction mixture resulted in the quantitative conversion of phenyl trifluoroacetate to phenol and trifluoroacetic acid solvent. After the addition the reaction mixture was stirred an additional 7 h.
