Procedure: To a stirred solution of 2-bromo-4-chlorophenol (3.38 g, 16.3 mmol) in anhydrous 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (25 ml) under an atmosphere of nitrogen, was added cesium carbonate (8.0 g, 24.4 mmol). The mixture was cooled to 0° C. before addition of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (3.78 g, 16.3 mmol) drop-wise over 2 minutes. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 14 hours. To encourage complete reaction the reaction mixture was warmed to 120° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature then water (50 ml) was added. The layers were separated and the aqueous was extracted with heptane (3×50 ml). All organic extracts were combined then dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 (s), filtered and evaporated in vacuo to afford crude title compound as a yellow oil (4.20 g, 89%). Material was taken on without further purification. reaction the reaction mixture was warmed to 120° C. for 3 hours The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature The layers were separated the aqueous was extracted with heptane (3×50 ml) All organic extracts were combined then dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 (s) filtered evaporated in vacuo
